Maddie, 20's, photographer, amateur super-sleuth, eager to help her brother solve a crime.

You know the saying, "never judge a book by it's cover"? Well it's for people like Ruby Riener that it was coined. She is sugar and spice, and everything nice... or so she'd have you believe. Under her cavity-inducing sweetness lies a cunning wolf. She wears "little old lady" like crocheted camouflage to get away with murder... literally. She's unscrupulous, smart as a whip, and she'll use that whip without hesitation, should you dare to cross her. It's Granny's way, or the highway.

Everett is a large man, standing at about 6'5", with long, scraggly brown hair and always has a five o'clock shadow. He spent a decade in the Army and has done a few tours in the middle east. He is highly skilled, keeps his strong physique well maintained, has a snarky sense of humor, makes jokes out of things that are serious, and has a habit of sabotaging his civilian jobs because he secretly misses the Army despite his intense PTSD.

Everett has a beautiful wife and two kids, a nice modern home, a great job, and a lot to lose.

Jared (15-24) A Heartthrob, a loner--a trainwreck.

Clara is a young girl who is the voice of reason to her slightly younger brother, Henry who has an active imagination. She tries to be a calming influence on him.

Mike (20) is the older and favored son of Frank, but due to his "quick to act" nature, he's been labeled an idiot by his father all his life. It’s a dynamic he uses to control his two sons by making Mike feel like an idiot and Ralf like a coward.

Keith is a fierce and complicated 18 year-old kid from a broken family. And he may have just stolen his older brother's car.

Evelyn is a no-nonsense but cynical young woman who lives on her own. And she may have a pure heart beneath her sharp exterior.

This scene may be read for either Keith or Evelyn.
