Storyline
When an unknown buyer outbids him for his deceased father's car, a loving husband must decide between giving up on his dreams or sacrificing his morals to get back the car of his childhood.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Peter | Male 25 - 40 Years old |
Description Peter is fit and medium in height. He is a passionate family man who is susceptible to emotions. Losing his father, Paul, was very hard for him as they were very close. In his teen years, they bonded over an old Mercedes that they made their project car. Paul eventually sold this car to pay for Peter's tuition. This was a core memory for Peter, as it made him extremely sad to see the car go, but it also taught him what sacrificial love looks like. Ever since Paul's passing, Peter has been determined to buy the car back in an attempt to fill the void in his heart that his father left. | ||

| Principal | Abby | Female 25 - 40 Years old |
Description Abby is fit and medium/shorter in height. She is kind, logical and morally grounded. Abby is Peter's wife, and she is incredibly supportive of Peter. She wants to see Peter happy, and so she supports his efforts to buy his father's car. However, she also sees that Peter is developing an unhealthy attachment and obsession with the car. When she sees that things are getting out of hand, she is a voice of reason for Peter, encouraging him to make the right choice. | ||

| Principal | Robert | Male 35 - 50 Years old |
Description Robert is larger and medium in height. He is a wealthy man that acquired Paul's car simply because he wanted something vintage to drive in the summer. While he is quite sleazy, he is also a straight-shooter. He empathizes with Peter and his connection with the car, but not enough to take any less money for it. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Paul | Male 35 - 50 Years old |
Description Paul should appear older and a little heavy. Despite being worn-out, he's still a bright and loving family man. He is the epitome of sacrificial love to Peter, and is the man that Peter tries to live up to. Paul loved the project car just as much as Peter did, but he loved Peter more. Paul never got the opportunity to go to college so giving Peter that opportunity was very important to him. For this reason, when it came time for Peter to go to college, he didn't hesitate to sell the car. | ||
