CHARACTERS:

8 MALES; 5 FEMALES

1) Sean (ages from 19 to 26) – Our protagonist is the adopted son of Kevin & Bridget O’Connor, and the cause of Rebecca Morgan’s heartache. He’s a lost soul, a boy struggling to become a man.

2) Rebecca (ages from 17 to 42) – Our heroine is the daughter of Reece and Patricia Morgan.  Raised a debutante, but rejects that life to become a free spirit/rebel. Artistic and romantic, Rebecca carries the heartache of a lost child throughout her life.

3) Jake (ages from 19 to 44) – Dark, sensitive, and attractive, Jake is Rebecca’s love and soul mate.  A musician growing up in a cultural revolution, with a bit of 1950s “bad-boy” in him.
