Mujer sonorense. Trabaja en una cantina vieja de las que parecen suspendidas en el tiempo: radiola, posters gastados de ídolos del rock, humo impregnado en las paredes y mesas que han visto pasar demasiadas noches. Tiene la familiaridad y el carácter de alguien que conoce a todos los clientes habituales y sabe leer el ánimo de un lugar casi sin mirar. Directa, cálida y sin ceremonia, habla con naturalidad norteña y una confianza cotidiana nacida de años en la cantina. Hay en ella una mezcla de desgaste y resistencia; una mujer acostumbrada a jornadas largas, silencios incómodos y conversaciones a medias. Debe transmitir cercanía inmediata, humor seco y una sensibilidad discreta.

Hombre mexicano. Custodio armado vestido de civil. Trabaja para una figura de poder cuyos intereses reales permanecen ambiguos. Tiene la vigilancia fría y el profesionalismo contenido de alguien acostumbrado a operar en silencio. Observa más de lo que habla. Su saludo es correcto, pero cargado de una tensión apenas perceptible: la cortesía de quien sabe algo que el otro todavía no termina de entender. Debe transmitir control, reserva y una amenaza sutil. No es un guardaespaldas ostentoso ni un hombre de acción evidente; su inquietante presencia proviene justamente de su calma y de su capacidad para permanecer inmóvil, atento y casi invisible mientras representa los intereses de alguien con poder.

Hombre mexicano. Secretario de Acuerdos de la Suprema Corte de Justicia. Tiene la presencia sobria, precisa y ceremonial de alguien acostumbrado al peso institucional de cada palabra pronunciada dentro de la Sala del Pleno. Metódico, contenido y rigurosamente formal, domina los protocolos y tiempos del tribunal con absoluta naturalidad. Su voz, su dicción y su postura reflejan años dentro del aparato judicial, donde la neutralidad y la precisión son parte esencial del cargo. Aunque su función es técnica, debe transmitir la tensión silenciosa de quien entiende perfectamente la dimensión histórica y política de lo que ocurre frente a él. No opina ni interviene emocionalmente; su papel consiste en conducir el procedimiento con claridad impecable, incluso en medio de decisiones de enorme peso humano y público.

Controlled, hyper-competent, emotionally suppressed, and haunted by guilt. Hoover has spent years compartmentalizing her emotions in order to survive within a violent criminal world. Intelligent, observant, and fiercely capable, she approaches her work with precision and professionalism, treating even the most horrific situations as routine. The discovery of her younger sister's body completely shatters that control. Beneath Hoover's hardened exterior is unresolved grief, guilt over leaving her sister behind, and the lingering trauma of an abusive childhood she has spent years trying to outrun. Although Hoover initially believes her journey is about finding someone to blame and taking revenge, it ultimately becomes about accepting grief, confronting her past, and allowing herself to feel again. The actor must be capable of carrying the film through subtle internal work before emotional collapse, gradually transitioning from restraint and professionalism to vulnerability, desperation, heartbreak, and finally, acceptance.

Pragmatic, charismatic, observant, emotionally guarded, unexpectedly compassionate. Dyson survives through humour, routine, and emotional distance. While Hoover suppresses through control, Dyson suppresses through casualness and banter. She is exceptionally good at her job and understands the rules of their world better than Hoover, having spent longer within it. At the beginning of the film, Dyson is often the most dehumanizing person in the room. To her, bodies are evidence, obstacles, and problems to solve. That emotional detachment is what allows her to keep doing the work. However, beneath her professionalism is genuine loyalty and care for Hoover. As the film progresses, Dyson becomes the emotional anchor of the story, ultimately choosing compassion over protocol and humanity over self-preservation. The actor must balance authority, wit, emotional intelligence, and warmth. Strong listening skills are essential, as many of Dyson's most important moments occur through reaction.

Hoover's estranged younger sister, although Anna is deceased for the entirety of the film, she remains its emotional center. Every major decision Hoover makes is driven by her relationship with Anna and the guilt she carries surrounding their shared past. After a troubled childhood, Anna followed a path similar to Hoover's, becoming entangled in a dangerous criminal world while searching for a way out. Intelligent and determined, she risked everything in an attempt to escape, only for that decision to cost her her life. This is a featured non-speaking role with no dialogue. While Anna never speaks and is only seen as a crime-scene victim, her presence drives the entire story. The actor will be prominently featured throughout the film and will work closely with the SPFX makeup team to create realistic crime-scene effects. This role is ideal for an actor interested in gaining on-set experience, working with special effects makeup, and contributing to a character whose emotional impact is felt throughout the entire film.

A wealthy politician whose public image is built on respectability, influence, and moral authority. Behind closed doors, however, he represents the hypocrisy and corruption of the powerful men who exploited Anna and benefited from the systems that trapped her. Although Bill is deceased, his presence looms over the story. Through evidence discovered at the crime scene, we slowly piece together the role he played in the events leading up to both deaths. This is a featured non-speaking role with no dialogue. Bill appears as one of the film's crime-scene victims and plays an important role in establishing the mystery and stakes of the story. The actor will work with the SPFX makeup team and gain experience on a professional narrative film set.

Young Alice appears in a special birthday memory that becomes the emotional heart of the story. Full of joy, curiosity, and excitement, she experiences one of the happiest moments of her childhood when her parents surprise her with her first camera.

The Suited Man is a wealthy, well-dressed customer who regularly purchases and relives other people's memories. Charming and confident on the surface, he views human experiences as products to be collected and consumed rather than deeply personal moments. He represents the darker side of the memorytrading business, the reality of what happens to the memories once they are sold.

Alice’s mother is warm, loving, and deeply nurturing. In the birthday memory, she is full of joy as she watches her daughter open her first camera. She’s the type of parent that makes young Alice feel seen and supported. Eva passed away in a car accident with James a few weeks after Alice's 16th birthday.

Alice’s father is playful, caring, and full of life. In the birthday memory, he is the one who gifts Alice her first camera, unknowingly inspiring the passion that will stay with her into adulthood. James passed away in a car accident with Rose a few weeks after Alice's 16th birthday.

This customer is overwhelmed, vulnerable, and desperate for a way out of her situation. Like Alice at the beginning of the story, she arrives at the store searching for a solution to her problems, unaware of the true cost of what will be offered.
