Storyline

Film#1: The Loyalty Test

Synopsis:

When MARCO suspects his wife CELINE is having an affair with their friend REED, he sets a trap at his own birthday party — marking her dress with ketchup so that whoever touches her will carry the proof. What follows is one night of calculated misdirection, a morning of gaslighting, and two people — Marco and his unlikely ally ALANA — who were never as fooled as they seemed. A sharp domestic thriller about a man who plays the fool just long enough to win.

-----

Film#2: Ghost of Her Past

Synopsis:

When LIV's husband BILLY — a soldier she was told died five years ago — shows up alive on her doorstep, her carefully rebuilt life collapses in an instant. Her daughter CHARLIE remembers everything. Her husband JOHN, who has loved them both for three years, is standing right behind him. A vertical drama about a woman caught between the life she built and the love she never buried.

Roles

Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	Film #1: Marco (Lead) / Film #2: John (Supporting Lead)	Male 30 - 35 Years old
Description Film#1: The Loyalty Test Marco (Lead) Age: 35 Height: Any Physical Appearance: Composed, quietly handsome. The kind of man who watches more than he speaks. Must read as both genuinely warm and dangerously calm — sometimes in the same moment. Description: A husband who has already done the math. Marco moves through the script with complete, controlled patience — planting the trap in Scene 1, playing the fool in Scene 4, and watching it all land in Scene 5. Requires the ability to play oblivious convincingly while the audience slowly understands he is anything but. Critical: the collapse in Scene 3 must sell total believability, and the doorway entrance in Scene 5 must land as the reveal it is. ---- Film#2: Ghost of Her Past John (Supporting Lead) Age: 30s Height: Any Physical Appearance: Solid, warm, conventionally handsome. The kind of man who shows up. Must read as genuinely good — not a villain, not a placeholder. A man who deserved better than this. Description: A husband who walked into a broken family and held it together for three years — and is now losing it to a ghost. John's arc moves from blindsided to desperate to dignified. Must never play resentment as cruelty. Critical: the anniversary line in Scene 1 must land as a gut punch not a quip, the drunk Scene 4 must read as a good man at his absolute limit, and the exit must be the most heartbreaking thing in the script — a man choosing grace when he has every right not to.
Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	Film#1: Alana (Lead) / Film#2: Liv (Lead)	Female 30 - 35 Years old
Description Film#1: The Loyalty Test ALANA (Lead) Age: 30-35 Height: Any Physical Appearance: Warm, grounded, quietly sharp. The person in the room you underestimate. Description: Reed's wife and Marco's accomplice — though the audience doesn't know the second part until Scene 5. Alana plays the concerned friend through most of the script, which means the reveal of her role must feel both surprising and completely inevitable in retrospect. Must play confusion convincingly in Scene 2 and deliver the Scene 5 pivot with complete authority. Critical: "There's a lawyer downstairs, Reed. I'd go" must land as the button it is — no hesitation, no heat. ----- Film#2: Ghost of Her Past LIV (Lead) Age: 30s Height: Any Physical Appearance: Naturally beautiful, emotionally open. The kind of woman whose face tells the whole story before she speaks. Must read as simultaneously strong and completely undone. Description: A woman who rebuilt her life from nothing and is now watching it come apart at the seams. Liv's journey moves from shock through guilt through grief to a choice she can't take back. Must hold genuine love for two men without playing either as performance. Critical: the doorway collapse must be visceral, the backyard scene must earn the tears, the bedroom scene must feel like a woman who already knows the answer and can't say it yet, and the final scene must land as relief not victory.
Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	Film #1: Reed (Supporting) / Film #2: Billy (Lead)	Male 30 - 35 Years old
Description Film#1: The Loyalty Test REED (Supporting) Age: 30-35 Height: Any Physical Appearance: Conventionally attractive, effortlessly smug. The kind of man who has always found a way out of things. Description: A man who believes charm is a get-out-of-jail-free card — and has never been proven wrong. Reed moves through the script with easy confidence right up until his hand won't let go of a champagne glass. Must play the excuse in Scene 3 as a genuine attempt, not a joke. Critical: the stuck-glass moment must land as the reveal it is, and the Scene 5 backpedal must escalate from smooth to desperate. ----- Film#2: Ghost of Her Past BILLY (Lead) Age: 30s Height: Any Physical Appearance: Lean, weathered, quietly intense. The kind of man who carries everything inward. Must read as both genuinely warm and genuinely haunted. Description: A soldier who let his family believe he was dead to keep them safe — and is now standing in the wreckage of that decision. Billy's arc moves from tentative to present to committed. Must play love without desperation and restraint without coldness. Critical: the reunion with Charlie must be completely unguarded, the backyard scene must hold still under Liv's anger, and the final pull of his family into his arms must feel like a man who has been waiting five years for that exact moment.
