STORY-LINE: After losing his son in a car accident, Crew
spends his days drinking his life away on his front porch until he is confronted
by a young boy's infatuation with the old guitar that sits next to him day after
day. When the young boy is critically injured, Crew must make a decision that
will push him farther than he ever imagined, watch another child die, or drive
intoxicated and try to save the son he couldn't before.
Crew – (Male
50’s) A very tough, unkempt, but caring man who is haunted by his past. He was
helping his young son put a guitar away while driving and lost control of the
vehicle. His son past away and he carries both physical and emotional wounds
that haven’t properly healed; both of which he tries to medicate with drinking.
Bobby reminds him a little too much of his son. LEAD
Bobby – (Male 10-15) a kind-hearted and curious boy who
wants to learn how to play the guitar. He has asked his parents and they said
maybe when he is older. He walks to school past Crew and gets the brilliant idea
to ask for lessons on his own. He is very organized and loves to keep track of
things on his notepad. He feels lost without it. LEAD
Young Crew – (Male 28-36) A very gentle and encouraging young
single father. His wife died in childbirth with their son and he is raising him
the best he knows how and is doing better than he thinks he is. SUPPORTING
Crew’s Son – (Male 9-12) A very bright-eyed and fun loving
boy who loves his father and wants to be just like him so he tries to do
everything that he does. SUPPORTING
Young Man – (Male 20’s) A brash and cocky guy who is much
more interested in the young woman next to him than driving carefully or
watching the road. SUPPORTING
Young Woman – (Female 20’s) A very excited and giddy girl who
loves to get attention from the young man. She is concerned when their car hits
something but in the end gives it little thought. SUPPORTING
Nurse #1 – (Female 25-35) A very able and experienced nurse
who happens to be working the night shift at the hospital when Crew brings Bobby
in. She is quick and professional and knows exactly what needs to be done.
SUPPORTING
Doctor – (Male 30’s) A young and new but good doctor who
has 2 children of his own. He sees Bobby’s condition and feels a small tinge of
fear which he quickly suppresses and gets into doctor mode. SUPPORTING
Nurse #2 – (Female 25-35) A newer, but very competent
nurse who sees the situation and immediately tries to help but is at first
unsure of what to do. SUPPORTING
