Comments
This is a passion-driven, non-union project operating under a limited budget. While roles are unpaid, the production is committed to creating a high-quality film with strong festival aspirations and promotional visibility for all involved. Ideal for actors looking to build reel material, gain experience in intense dramatic work, and collaborate closely with a serious film studio.
Storyline
Mike works as a trusted transporter in a high-level drug operation, ensuring the seamless flow of cocaine between powerful players. But when shadows from his past begin to close in, the world he’s built starts to fracture. Haunted by old choices and entangled loyalties, he finds himself at a crossroads—where one decision could alter not only his fate but the lives of everyone around him. As tensions rise and trust erodes, Mike must navigate a dangerous path that challenges everything he’s come to rely on.
Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadMikeMale 30 - 40 Years old
Description
Mike is in his late 30s to early 40s, physically capable, composed, and sharp-eyed. A former enforcer or smuggler with a murky past, he’s lived a life full of danger, betrayal, and loss. He’s the kind of man who speaks only when necessary, and when he does, it carries weight. He doesn’t show emotion easily — everything is internalized, processed through instinct and action rather than words.
Beneath the stoic surface is a man burdened by guilt. He once made a promise he couldn’t keep, and it’s shaped his every move since. He walks like someone who’s always scanning, never relaxed, but he’s not a loose cannon — he’s controlled, methodical, and efficient in violence when required.
He’s not a hero in the traditional sense. He’s done questionable things, and he knows it. But he draws the line when it comes to innocence — especially when that innocence is tied to someone he once loved like a brother. His relationship with Skye starts distant, more of a mission than a bond. But as the story progresses, cracks appear in his armor. He begins to care. Genuinely. Silently.
By the end, Mike is worn down physically and emotionally. He’s running on resolve, not strength. The way he looks at Skye changes — from obligation to protection to affection. He becomes what she never had: someone who would die before letting her fall.

SupportingBriggsMale 30 - 40 Years old
Description
Briggs is a pragmatic, hard-edged professional in his late 30s to early 40s. He’s not in the game for the thrill, justice, or loyalty — he’s in it for the paycheck. He approaches every job like a contract: clear terms, defined stakes, no emotions. He’s not greedy, but values order, precision, and being compensated fairly for risk. Loyalty, to him, only exists within the boundaries of the job — once it’s over, so is the attachment.
He’s clean, calculated, and highly disciplined. Lives on routine. Keeps things tidy. Keeps his distance. He’s not cold-blooded or cruel — in fact, he’s the opposite when it comes to the people he works with, often showing genuine concern, but only when it falls within the context of the mission. He’s not the guy who charges into a burning building, but if a crew member’s in danger during a job, he’ll pull them out — not to be a hero, but because that’s part of the task.
When Mike comes to him for help — with no plan, no payout, no crew — Briggs refuses. Not out of spite, but because it makes no sense. The girl isn’t part of any job. The old team doesn’t exist. He’s out, and that’s that.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingSkye RennerFemale 16 - 18 Years old
Description
Skye is a sharp, guarded young woman in her late teens, shaped by a life of instability, loss, and betrayal. Beneath her quiet demeanor is a mind always calculating — observant, resourceful, and emotionally resilient beyond her years. She’s not naive, but she's not hardened either — more emotionally restrained as a survival mechanism than emotionally cold.
She doesn’t trust easily. Her relationship with Mike is distant at first — he's a ghost from a life she barely knew how to be part of — but over time, a silent, unspoken bond begins to grow. She doesn't show affection openly and often masks fear with sarcasm or indifference. But underneath, she carries deep trauma — and guilt — especially related to her father. When pushed, she’s capable of shocking violence, almost like muscle memory from the past. Her final act of saving Mike is both instinctual and deeply cathartic, reawakening a part of her she’d shut off.
Skye is not a victim, nor is she a hero. She’s a survivor navigating a world that keeps using her. And only in the very end does she let herself break — not from weakness, but from finally caring.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingThe bossMale 50 - 65 Years old
Description
A respected man of principle. Never impulsive, never rattled. He only works with people he trusts. Violence doesn’t faze him — nor does it excite him. It’s simply part of the business. He speaks with calm formality, and commands respect not through intimidation, but through stability, control, and legacy. He’s a leader who never raises his voice, but when he speaks, everyone listens.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingColeMale 25 - 40 Years old
Description
Cole is unstable, impulsive, and emotionally unpredictable — a ticking time bomb. He acts before he thinks and burns hot when challenged. His emotions move fast: cocky confidence can erupt into anger in seconds. He's loud, volatile, and sometimes even talks to himself. He's not a cold-blooded killer or strategic operator — he’s a hammer. Brutal, messy, and dangerous. The kind of man who believes loyalty means being all-in, no matter how destructive it gets. His recklessness threatens everyone around him, especially those still trying to help.

Violence and death are part of the business to him — neither exciting nor shocking. He’s a man of few words, but each one carries weight. Respect is earned in his world through precision, not ego. You don’t get to sit at his table unless you’re useful, clean, and trustworthy.
