A romantic, a daydreamer, Michael is your average C-grade student ambling his way through his final days of high school. Music obsessed, Michael works at Sam’s Records with his best friend, Shawn, and Jennifer, his crush. Michael lives with his widowed mother, Whitney.

A former model turned record store employee with a complicated past. Jennifer is entangled in a dangerous situation involving drug dealers and money–a situation that Michael will later find himself at the center of. Beautiful and unpredictable, naughty and vivacious, Jennifer is street smart savvy and wears a sly renegade smile and projects confidence while harboring deeper vulnerabilities.

A dangerous drug dealer who Jennifer owes money to. He runs local operations, has a volatile temper, and is trigger happy. He's possessive about his territory and business relationships, vehement in nature, and not a force to be fucked with.

Step-mother to Jennifer and girlfriend of drug dealer Darnell, Monica supports her boyfriend every step of the way, moving effortlessly between domestic life and criminal chaos in her signature red pumps. Sophisticated and quick witted, Monica is equally comfortable braiding hair or navigating gunfights.

Darnell's primary enforcer, Brain means business, but his bark is louder than his bite, and while he talks tough, he often fumbles the execution. A stout, sturdy bulldog of a man, Brain is more muscle than mastermind, especially with a bullet in his leg.

A tall, lanky mouse of a man, Pinky follows Brain's lead with nervous, skittish energy and poor timing. More comic relief than criminal threat, he's always anxious and accident-prone, often making situations worse through sheer incompetence.

A powerful drag queen, club owner, and unfuckwithable powerhouse who runs dark underground operations. Described as a "giant, striking woman," Rahcel Tensions commands respect wherever she goes and operates with a code of honor.

Michael's widowed mother who works hard to ensure her son goes to college. She's protective of Michael and worried about his future, though she has her own past dreams–now long forgotten.

The shaggy-haired Gen-X owner of Sam's Records, and boss to Michael and Jennifer. Sam follows his heart and meets Whitney on a blind date. Their date doesn’t end, and instead of calling an early night, Whitney and Sam end up on a citywide chase to find Micahel in his time of need.
