Storyline
Over the course of a summer afternoon, a 13 year old boy is forced to grow up fast when he’s confronted with the horrors of absentee parents, his sister’s abusive ex — and the eldritch nightmare waiting for him beneath the local pool.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | GARY | Male 12 - 15 Years old |
Description [GARY] is a 13yo, male. Husky and self-conscious of his bigger size, Gary is sensitive. He wants nothing more than to be invisible. Reeling from his parents’ divorce, he finds solace in drawing, his best friend Sam, and his older sister Abby. Gary’s inner world is as loud as he is quiet, hiding a righteous fury just waiting to escape. LEAD | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | ABBY | Female 18 - 23 Years old |
Description [ABBY] is a 17yo, female. Gary’s self-appointed protector, Abby’s forced to grow up fast when her parents get divorced. Her life is defined by secrets: her dad’s infidelity, her mom’s drinking, and the creature that’s haunted her since she was a kid. Abby has weaponized her sensitivity, affecting a jaded wisdom; deep down, she’s just as wounded as Gary. Actor must be 18 or older. **Actor to play 17 (must be over 18) | ||
