CHARACTERS (Characters marked with a ^ will be involved in scenes of physical intimacy):
*^CASEY (23): Casey is a seemingly happy-go-lucky bartender who in reality can only be described as an emotional wreck. After spending her 20s going through situationship after situationship, she finally meets someone she actually likes…but can she actually commit? [CAST]
*^SAYLOR (24): Saylor is a quiet and reserved graphic designer who invests too much time in girls who aren’t interested in her. She’s hopelessly in love with one of her best friends, Riley, and everyone can see this except for her…and Riley. [CAST]
*^RILEY (23): Riley is Casey’s opinionated and loyal best friend who wants the best for everyone. She’s always willing to put the needs of others before herself. Obviously in love with Saylor, when she learns that Saylor made a deal with Casey, Riley finds it harder and harder to ignore her feelings. [CAST]
*^ARIA (24): Aria is Casey’s headstrong and caring co-worker/on again-off again situationship. Typically Aria knows what she wants, and she gets it, but that all changes when she gets caught up in the mess that is Casey. After giving up all hope for them to actually be together and focus on her job and band, Aria is thrown for a loop when Casey looks like she can commit…but just not to her.
*^ELIZA (23): Eliza is the stereotypical millennial but stuck in a Gen-Z body. She loves all things to do with fandoms, science fiction, fantasy, and book-tok. Ironically she catches Casey’s eye and is the one person that can potentially get her to commit…at least for a bit.
TATUM (27): Casey and Aria’s over-bearing but understanding manager who has it out for Casey. They run the bar like the Navy and expect everyone to work at their standards. Though they try to maintain a professional attitude, sometimes lines can be blurred…especially when it comes to their feelings towards Aria.
*JADE (23): Jade is tiny but mighty, and unafraid to tell it like it is. She gives her friends the push they need to do what they need to do.
*LOGAN (25): Logan is the class clown of the group. His antics have made it so that his friends always keep one eye on him when going out.
*CALEB (24): Caleb is a sweet and intuitive guy who can always tell when his friends need someone to talk to.
^JAMIE (24): An old friend from college who is a certified BADDIE. She shows up to Saylor and Casey’s halloween party and stirs up some trouble by making a move on Saylor.
BACKGROUND/FEATURED EXTRAS (21-28): Partygoers, bar patrons, etc.
