Storyline
When a disconnected couple realizes their relationship is built on a web of constant, petty lies, simmering tensions erupt.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Emma | Female 25 - 40 Years old |
Description Emma is the type who’ll deflect a compliment with a sarcastic quip, and her deadpan attitude might make her come across as dark and mysterious—but in reality, she’s deeply sensitive and introspective. Her dry wit keeps people laughing, often at moments they least expect, and she has a knack for slipping under-the-breath one-liners that go unnoticed by most… except the audience. Emma lives in a constant state of creative motion—jumping from painting to writing to whatever new artistic obsession catches her eye that week—rarely sitting still, often overwhelmed, and always searching for something that clicks. Her life is a beautiful mess of late-night inspiration, spontaneous plans, forgotten hobbies, and takeout sushi. She’s magnetic, emotionally complex, and more vulnerable than she lets on, masking it all behind a quick tongue and a carefully curated kind of chaos. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Paul | Male 25 - 40 Years old |
Description Sweet, anxious, and endlessly eager to make you laugh—even if it means leaning into a dumb dad joke or saying something ridiculous off the cuff—Paul is the golden retriever of guys. He thrives on routine and logic, but secretly craves the unpredictable spark Emma brings into his life (even if it stresses him out). A baseball-loving, ice-cream-eating gamer and karaoke enthusiast, he finds comfort in video chats with high school buddies and unsolicited visits from his overly involved parents. As a project manager in software, he’s meticulous at work, but at home, he’s all comfort clothes, fantasy leagues, and heartfelt efforts to lift the mood, especially when silence makes his anxious brain start spiraling. | ||
