Storyline
Katie thought she could keep her indiscretions quiet—until the man behind the wheel turns out to be her husband’s best friend. With every mile, Dan pushes closer to the truth. And with her marriage on the line, Katie’s next move might be her last chance to make things right.
Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadKATIEFemale 30 - 40 Years old
Description
Description: Katie is a wife and mother who’s spent years putting everyone else first. She’s not a villain, but she’s dangerously close to becoming one. Her quiet flirtation masks a deeper ache—a need to feel seen, desired, and alive. What looks like cheating might actually be a cry for help. Emotionally complex and layered, Katie balances guilt, longing, and self-protection until the truth finally breaks through.
H/M/W: Casual-chic: tailored blouse, slim jeans, wedding rings (worn at first then removed), neutral makeup, hair slightly tousled from the night.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadDANMale 30 - 40 Years old

This is a man who wants to do right by everyone… but tonight, that’s impossible. He pushes for answers not just for Aaron’s sake, but to shake Katie into accountability.
H/M/W: Driver-style wardrobe: dark jacket or hoodie, fitted tee, jeans. Hair clean and short. Neutral grooming, with intensity in the eyes.
