List of Roles and Character Descriptions:
Verna (Late 30s to Early 50s)
Verna is an eccentric woman who’s young at heart. She takes pride in the life she's built for her family and is conscious of how they are perceived by their community. As much as she loves her kids, she is in desperate need of some alone time with her husband Jack.
Eugene (Early 60s to Late 70s)
Eugene is routinely described as the town hermit. He prefers to live alone in the woods, outside of the public eye. He’s a nervous man with his walls firmly up, until they come crumbling down as he shares his secrets. He’s used to his low profile to help those who need it, but his knowledge and his findings are the key to unlocking the mystery of what’s been happening in the woods - until his untimely disappearance.
