Description LEAD: Savannah: Female 18-29. Savannah exudes an air of quiet strength masked by a veil of vulnerability. Her journey begins with a sharp realization – her husband's demands for femininity serve as shackles to her spirit. Determined to shatter these chains, she orchestrates a bold act of defiance. Yet, beneath her resolve lies a heart torn between love and self-respect. Will she choose to break free or salvage what remains of her fractured marriage?

Description LEAD - Dominic: Male 30-44. Dominic embodies the archetype of traditional masculinity, rigid and unyielding. To him, marriage is a contract of duties, a transaction devoid of tenderness. Blinded by his own expectations, he fails to see the erosion of his wife's spirit until it's too late. As the tables turn, he confronts the consequences of his narrow vision. But can he grasp the true essence of love before it slips through his fingers? WARDROBE: Slick and stylish business attire - sharp button down, fitted pants. Robe/Two towels (to actor’s comfort). | ||

But what secrets lie beneath his compassionate facade? And how will his encounter with Savannah reshape the contours of his own life?
