Matthew has lived his entire life with one creed: "Do not become my father." He resents his father for not being there for him when he needed it as a kid, and for the choices he has made. When he finds himself in front of his father after years apart, he struggles to see him as anything other than an alcoholic and a bad person.

Having been aged by a life of drinking, gambling, and tough jobs, Tony looks older than he is. He had Matthew at a young age and was not mature enough to be a good father to him. Tony is now at a point where he's finally realized how much of life he has missed out on, and is trying to make up for all of his wrongdoings.

Tony is an older man who has spent his entire life in the neighbourhood he was born in. Opening a deli shop and restaurant, he has become everyone's friend for decades. He knows how to handle people, becoming a friendly confidant to all who frequent his shop.

Lonely, directionless, and unfulfilled, Avery doesn't care about much. When she accidentally kills a pedestrian with her car, her life is turned upside down by the realization of every little thing that’s wrong with her life... suddenly, her laissez-faire attitude begins to crumble. Overwhelmed with the pressures of adulthood and the impending doom of legal consequences, she develops a newfound desire to become a part of society. Friendship, steady employment, and other tenets of living have never appealed to Avery before meeting Ella, the only person she has ever felt any meaningful connection with (and unfortunately also the only person she's ever hit with her car).
