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
