CHARACTERS
LARA LONIGAN—Owner of the motel. A very mature lady. She is healthy as a horse, and knows she’s still got more life to live—she’s not happy about being alone, but accepts her lot and makes the best of it she can.
CAROLINE COOPER—Red headed and hot tempered, Caroline manages a real estate development company in Suburban Detroit. She wants to be normal, but she tries way too hard. Borderline clinically depressed and suffering from a mild panic disorder. She doesn’t want to stay how she is, but she’s too ashamed to admit it.
DEPUTY MAX BYRNE—A Deputy of the Michigan State Police stationed in Ironwood. Single, originally from Canada. Shy and unassuming, he is honest, responsible, and takes his job very seriously. Speaks with long O’s and lots of “eh’s” thrown in.
FRANK WILLIAMS—The mysterious guest who stepped out of an Eddie Bauer catalogue. He has the charisma of a movie star: tall, athletic, and quietly intense. He will look gruff and dangerous and scruffy at first, but should be able to clean up rather quickly. (Also plays the VOICE OF HARRY RUNNINGHORSE)
