SEEKING:

LINCOLN – ROLE HAS BEEN CAST. Black man, 30s–40s. Booth’s older brother. Charismatic, steady, and pragmatic. A former hustler who has left the street life behind, he now works an unusual job impersonating Abraham Lincoln at an arcade. He carries the weight of responsibility and a deep desire for stability.

BOOTH – Black man, 20s–30s. Lincoln’s younger brother. Impulsive, charming, and restless. Booth is determined to master the art of the three-card monte and reclaim a sense of power and identity, though he often undercuts himself. He longs for connection, status, and control in a world that has given him little.
