Storyline
Claire Vorosman, an ex-cop with a dirty secret, is hired to teach carpentry at a remote detention centre for young women. Upon entering Tomberdown property, she encounters a pregnant creature in the woods. From that moment on, her past and present begin to bleed together into a warped, feverish dream... or a reality she can’t escape. Upon arriving at Tomberdown, Claire becomes fixated on the mysterious “farm” the girls keep whispering about - a place where they are “created, twisted, and reshaped. Once you leave, you are no longer yourself; you become someone else entirely.” After she witnesses a twisted bullying ritual followed by a hypnotic session from authoritative Ms. Horne, the headmistress, she becomes determined to get to the bottom of the school’s secrets. Claire Vorosman tells herself she is driven by a desire to protect innocent girls, to atone for the lover she failed to save—but in truth, her craving for the company of young, attractive teens may be the stronger force. She descends deeper into the madness of doppelgangers, ghosts, and reclusive town residents until she is forced to confront the truth of her deeds. She surrenders to the inescapable nature of the beast, consumed by her own sins—pig eaten by pig.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Claire | Female 30 - 35 Years old |
Description CAUCASIAN ETHNICITY, . Claire is a retired cop with a dark secret. Easily provoked and quick to draw her weapon, Claire was deemed a danger to society (and the reputation of police) after she shot a pregnant woman during a drug den raid. Not many knew that Claire’s victim was her lover of many years who she had groomed while working in a juvenile prison. Claire’s attraction to younger, vulnerable, women is a part of the reason why she takes on the job in the female delinquents’ center in a remote part of Ontario. Surrounded by late teens, she finds herself growing more paranoid and – clairvoyant. Visions of her past mixed up with the strange apparitions of the present torture and stalk her as she gets closer and closer to solving the mystery of “The Farm.” In her mind, Claire is a hero, a white knight. She feels that “patronizing” young girls is her way of preventing them from making the mistakes that will land them in prison. While pursuing this “noble” goal, she doesn’t realize that she is being the predator. However, the girls surrounding her are smarter than that – and they will make Claire pay. Driven by her white knight syndrome but also by unredeemable guilt, Claire almost purposefully lets herself be caught in the web of strange happenings at Tomberdown. Maybe, deep inside, she wants to surrender to the punishment she’s been running from, death. Key traits: repressive, aloof, distrustful, narcissistic. | ||

| Lead | Juni/Maya | Female 20 - 25 Years old |
Description PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. Two Tomberdown students who were extremely close and rumoured to be lovers - until Maya was sent to The Farm and never returned (or at least that’s what Ms. Horne and the rest of the students claim). Sentenced to Tetherdown for petty theft, Juniper “Juni” Wicklow is a timid but determined 17-year old. Juni is obedient and malleable, which makes her a perfect partner in crime for someone like Maya, a wild card, a free spirit (arrested for property damage and public indecency). Maya and Juni are id and ego, one cannot exist without the other. Once they are separated and Maya is taken away, Juni slowly starts losing her grasp on reality. Both girls are a reflection of Claire’s internal fight: her guilt vs. her righteousness. It is no coincidence that they are doppelgangers, mirroring not only each other but also Claire’s dead girlfriend, Laura. All three are “bad girls” that our protagonist is desperately trying to save or mold to her perception of the world. Is Juni seeking Claire’s protection or trying to lure her into a trap? Are we sure they ever existed? Is Maya a ghost or a vision? Maya looks exactly like Juni. Key traits: Juni is quiet, resilient, self-aware and clairvoyant. Maya is hedonistic, playful, spontaneous and self-destructive. | ||

| Principal | Miss Horne | Female 45 - 55 Years old |
Description PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. There are three generations of women represented in MISCONCEPTED. Miss Angelica Horne is the most powerful and furious defender of the system. Mother figure to her Tomberdown students, she was never an actual mother herself. She has also never been married, avoiding the social leash all together. She still had to pay - in the lives of young girls who she “put on the right path”. It is unclear exactly how but Ms. Horne runs “The Farm” where the worst of her students are sent to be impregnated and then reintegrated to society. She believes in her cause and purpose as a guide for poor lost souls. Ms. Horne is a retired psychiatrist and a talented hypnotist, which explains her far-reaching influence on the current and past students. Key traits: dominant, charismatic, witty and cunning. | ||

| Actor | Lena | Female 20 - 25 Years old |
Description PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. One of the students at Tomberdown, Lena is an avid supporter of Miss Horne’s ideologies, perfect follower of any idea held by a societal majority. She is a person who enables bullying, happily watches chaos unfold but never directly participates. A spectator of all things awful, a consumer of violence, she becomes the first odd interaction Claire has at her new workplace. | ||
