Storyline
Nerdy crown princess Alexia “Lex” Vale is hiding in plain sight as a suburban high school senior, determined to get her diploma and be a “normal” teen before she goes home to rule a country that’s already scripted her whole life.

That plan dies the second Wesley Becker, Sea Breeze High’s star football player--living under the iron grip of a father who treats him like a future meal ticket--accidentally captures Lex’s suspiciously professional “hall monitors” shutting down a mean girl attack. On the field, Wes is the school’s golden boy. Off it, the camera he hides in his locker is the only place he lets himself imagine a different future.

As his photos pull him closer to Lex’s secret and she slowly coaxes the truth out of him about his own buried dreams, their flirty cat-and-mouse game starts to look an awful lot like a real crush--complicating everything for a princess already promised to a prince and a boy whose abusive dad will do anything to keep him on the path he chose.
Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingMADISON ELLISFemale 18 - 25 Years old
Description
Supporting, $450 USD Per day (4-6 estimated days of shoot).

Female antagonist/queen bee, teenager, 18-25

Sea Breeze royalty. Cheer captain, student council girlie, and Wes’s on-again/off-again almost-girlfriend before Lex arrives.

Appearance: Put-together, aspirational queen bee aesthetic. Always looks ready for a pep rally photo op--stylish skirts or jeans with fitted tops, school colors worked into outfits, hair and makeup that read effortlessly flawless even though she clearly tries. Her vibe is ruling the school with an iron fist and inspiring terror in everyone. Think Regina George on steroids.

Personality: Confident, socially strategic, and fiercely territorial about her status. She’s used to being the most interesting girl in any room and doesn’t react well when someone threatens that spotlight--especially around Wes. She’s not cartoonishly evil because she genuinely cares about Sea Breeze’s image, but her empathy stops where her jealousy starts. When cornered, she can be cutting, manipulative, and willing to weaponize rumors to protect her queen bee status.

SupportingMR. BECKERMale 35 - 45 Years old
Description
Supporting, $350 USD Per day (2-3 estimated days of shoot).

Male, late 30s-early 40s, antagonist.

Former hometown football star whose cut-short career has curdled into bitterness and obsession with molding his son into the player he never got to be.

Appearance: Weathered, athletic build gone a little soft around the middle. Wears a permanent game-day uniform of team caps, faded polos, and jackets with old Sea Breeze or college logos, like he’s clinging to his glory years. His posture is tense, jaw often clenched, and there’s a coiled energy to him--like he’s always one bad play away from exploding. On the sidelines or in the stands, he’s the loudest, most aggressive presence in the crowd.

Personality: Intense, controlling, and thin-skinned, with a quick temper. He frames his verbal and physical abuse as “toughening Wes up,” convinced that softness is weakness and feelings are distractions. He’s deeply invested in appearances--how his son looks to scouts, how they look to the town--and reads any hint of disobedience as a personal betrayal. Underneath the bluster is a man terrified of being irrelevant, who would rather bulldoze his own kid’s boundaries than face his own regrets.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingEVAN WYNNMale 35 - 45 Years old
Description
Supporting, $350 USD Per day (4-5 estimated days of shoot).

Male, late 30s-early 40s,

Lex’s protection lead and the face of the royal security detail embedded at the school. Lex lives with him. He’s been around since she was little and is effectively a father figure. Her parents trust him more than anyone.

Appearance: Professional and composed with a subtle tactical vibe. Wears campus-appropriate “dad” versions of security clothes: polos or button-downs, a school-branded jacket, dark jeans or chinos, and practical shoes he can move in. He’s never sloppy or flashy. He carries himself like someone who’s always scanning exits and reading the room. Big “don’t talk to me or my son ever again” meme energy.

Personality: Evan is disciplined, hyper-competent, and laser-focused on his job: keeping Lex alive, safe, and unexposed. He’s gruff with a dry, understated sense of humor that slips out in a moment of crisis, and a soft spot for Lex, which he tries to hide behind protocol. He feels a personal responsibility for Lex in a way that goes way beyond the job description. He struggles with the line between parenting and policing her--wanting her to have a real life while knowing exactly how bad it can get if anything goes wrong.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingADRIAN MARKOVMale 18 - 25 Years old
Description
Supporting, $300 USD Per day (3-4 estimated days of shoot).

Male, 18-25. Lex’s arranged fiancé and fellow royal “transfer student” sent to keep her on-script.

Appearance: Effortlessly polished and camera-ready. He wears sharp, well-fitted clothes that read as “preppy rich kid” in a high school setting--nice sweaters, tailored shirts, and shoes that aren’t scuffed. There’s a subtle formality to him, even when he’s dressed down, as if he’s always ready to step into a photo op.

Personality: He’s intelligent, strategic, and charming in a way that feels practiced. He genuinely cares about Lex and understands the weight of duty, but he’s been raised to think in terms of optics, alliances, and long-term stability. He’s not a villain--he’s just deeply entrenched in the world that wants Lex to fall in line. Beneath the smooth surface, he harbors his own frustrations and what-ifs, especially as he watches Lex experience the normal life he’s never had.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingQUEEN MARINA VALEFemale 40 - 49 Years old
Description
Supporting, $300 USD Per day (1-3 estimated days of shoot).

Female, 40s, reigning monarch of Lex’s home country and Lex’s mom.

Appearance: Regal and composed, always styled. Tailored dresses or suits, minimal but expensive jewelry, and perfect posture. Always an air of formality. We see her through FaceTimes with Lex or if she reaches out to Evan to check on security measures.

Personality: Marina is intelligent, disciplined, and deeply aware of the weight of the crown. She loves Lex fiercely but often expresses that love through control--protocol, schedules, and “for your own good” decisions. She’s used to thinking in terms of nations, not individuals, and struggles to separate what’s best for the monarchy from what’s best for her daughter.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingNORAHFemale 18 - 23 Years old
Description
Supporting, $300 USD Per day (2-3 estimated days of shoot).

Female, 18-23, Lex’s first real friend at Sea Breeze and the unofficial social-media-savvy, moral-compass sidekick. Doesn’t know Lex’s secret at the beginning.

Appearance: Artsy, casually cool aesthetic. Think layered pieces, graphic tees, interesting jackets, and accessories that look thrifted or DIY. Norah’s style looks effortless but clearly reflects a strong POV--she dresses to express mood and message rather than trends.

Personality: Witty, grounded, and disarmingly perceptive. She’s the type to crack a joke to diffuse the tension and then quietly check in on you afterward. A keen observer of people and the online world, she understands how narratives get spun and is suspicious of anything too glossy. She’s fiercely loyal, and once Lex and Wes are “her people,” she has zero hesitation about calling them out when they’re being dumb.
