A loving father buried beneath addiction, depression, and regret. Struggling to hold it together, Bill teeters on the edge of self-destruction — and must find the strength to change before it’s too late.
Carter

Grandfather
Warm, wise, and quietly strong. He brings playful joy to Carter and steady calm to the household. When danger arrives, he becomes the barrier between a child’s innocence and a father’s unraveling.
Roland
A grounded bartender and longtime friend of Bill. Honest, steady, and quietly protective. He serves as the voice of reason — trying to help Bill before he goes too far.
