Storyline
On a scenic hike meant to bring them closer together, three friends unravel over the dumbest betrayal of all time: a group chat that doesn’t include one of them. What starts as a throwaway joke spirals into a full-blown fallout filled with passive-aggressive jabs, shifting allegiances, and the fragile politics of digital friendship. Set against the backdrop of a peaceful forest, their petty digitally-based drama becomes something both ridiculous and weirdly real.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Mike | Male 20 - 25 Years old |
Description The peacemaker. Mike hates confrontation but often finds himself stuck in the middle of arguments. Patient and understanding, but with a tendency to hide uncomfortable truths with lies until forced out. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Jack | Male 20 - 25 Years old |
Description Sarcastic, easily angered, and quick with a cutting remark, Jack masks his empathy behind deadpan humor. He’s not great at handling awkward situations, preferring to deflect with jokes or rush through uncomfortable conversations. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Carl | Male 20 - 25 Years old |
Description Hyper-emotional and easily wounded, Carl thrives on feeling like “part of the group.” His paranoia often runs ahead of reality, but beneath the insecurity is genuine loyalty. The kind of friend who would show up in the middle of the night if you called, while also making the whole thing about him. | ||
