Storyline
Going against her mother's warning, anxious teen Sadie Swirl smokes a potent strain of weed in order to fit in with the 'cool' girls. As her night unravels into a surreal, nightmarish trip, Sadie learns lessons in friendship, self-image and mental health.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Sadie Swirl | Female 15 - 25 Years old |
Description Sadie is an anxious, OCD, and possibly borderline schizophrenic teen who is constantly trying to fit in with the popular crowd. Her insecurity drives her to be someone she isn't, as she silently believes she's better than her nerdy old friends. Sadie hasn't quite realized that this stems from an internalized fear of being seen as 'uncool,' even though no one has ever called her a nerd—it's all in her head. This anxiety boils over when she is pressured into smoking weed, leading to a bad trip where she faces her fears, insecurities and some painful truths head-on. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Tia Swirl | Female 30 - 50 Years old |
Description Tia exudes a serene, all-knowing vibe that makes her the ultimate 'cool mom.' She gently guides Sadie without overwhelming her, offering advice with subtlety and humor. Her calm demeanor and thoughtful perspective create a sense of trust, allowing her to connect with Sadie in a way that feels effortless and supportive. Tia's wisdom is always delivered with a light touch, making her both relatable and inspiring. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Tom Swirl | Male 30 - 50 Years old |
Description Tom is the quintessential 'chill dad,' always ready with a dad joke or witty banter to lighten the mood. His playful teasing of Sadie's anxious quirks is filled with affection, striking a balance between being endearingly annoying and genuinely supportive. Tom's laid-back demeanor and quick humor create a comforting presence, reminding Sadie not to take herself too seriously. He’s the kind of dad who brings levity to every situation while quietly showing he’s always in her corner. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Peach | Female 15 - 25 Years old |
Description One of Sadie's 'nerdy' friends, Peach is kind-hearted and deeply compassionate, but her patience with Sadie is wearing thin. She’s always been there for Sadie, welcoming her back with open arms despite the growing distance between them. However, the lack of effort on Sadie’s part is starting to take a toll. Peach tries to mask her frustration, but it’s becoming harder to ignore the one-sidedness of their friendship. She can’t help but wish Sadie would show she cares—maybe reach out once in a while. Despite it all, Peach holds on to hope, believing that their bond is worth fighting for, even if she’s tired of being the only one fighting. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Ashley | Female 15 - 30 Years old |
Description Ashley is the queen bee, the leader of the group, and she radiates fierce energy wherever she goes. Her fiery personality makes her impossible to ignore—she commands attention with her boldness, confidence, and passionate nature. She's intense, unafraid to speak her mind, and has a burning charisma that makes her the one people follow instinctively. Like fire, she's unpredictable and magnetic but can be dangerous and destructive if pushed too far. | ||
