GREG VAN COTT as Michael Retiel/Jared Leiter: (the confused)
Weary collegian who was surrounded by the comforts of childhood the first 18 years of his life. Now he can not comprehend the problems his new friends have faced their entire lives. In order to achieve this understanding as he makes his transition from childhood to adulthood, Michael begins his journey to "better himself" by experiencing the dreams and illusions (told by a self proclaimed "Mr. Perfect" figure) of Jared Leiter, a hedonistic teenage gang member, whose own troubles may lead him into dangerous territory that could affect his environment, perceptions of his friends, and his entire mind.
HEATHER BRADLEY as Gina: (the image)
Idealistic student who represents success to Michael Retiel. An understanding and curious friend of Michael, Gina herself suffers from a great need for a man's protection who she feels needs to be ideal to her requirements and worthy to her competitive needs. To Michael, she also symbolizes a key to the worlds making sense.
NATE KIMBALL as "Jewman:" (the abused)
Best friend of Michael Reitel who acts as a motivation to his fears. Jacob Matthew does not know what to do with his feelings of hate and his feelings of love for his abusive father. Known by his close friends by his playful nickname, designed by himself-- "Jewman," he tries his best to live his life while hoping to find his answers.
MARCUS MANNING as Lenin: (the ungrateful)
Rebellious collegian who has become disenchanted by a future that does not live up to the expectations he had once as a child. Lenin and Michael know each other pretty well and share each other's perceptions and politics. Lenin is against all systems of control, especially the institution of money. He wishes to somehow prove all its faults.
STEPHEN MOORE as Amman: (the redeemer)
Refiner of drugs to Todaro's gang, Amman is literally the key to every teenager's fate who comes into contact with his medicine. A figure of Jared Leiter's world, it is Amman that ultimately will become the deciding agent to the future of Jared and Michael's future in how it is perceived. A runaway, Amman is all alone in life and his doubts.
ALETA MUELLER as Chris: (the nymph)
The rambunctious, yet vulnerable girl in Michael's life. Just when you predict to meet someone else, Christina fatefully is woven into your life unexpectedly. The kind of girl desiring a lifestyle where she can find doses of nirvana at every turn while still trying to maintain a simple love wherever it can be found. Aware that she can not live forever as a 'courtesan,' she searches for comfort.
APRIL KIDWELL as Tracy: (the beguiled)
Linked at times with Chris, Tracy appears every now and then to Michael when both are in times of need. These troubles lead to their deepest extent when Tracy confesses to Michael that she has been raped by their teacher, John Gibbons. However known to have a promiscuous history, Tracy does not have much credibility on her side-- Only Michael's belief.
MONTE LIGHT as Will: (the lost)
Pressured by his commitment to academics, Will can not escape his own overwhelming pursuits and responsibilities. He demands so much from his own willpower, and yet not enough. As Michael allows himself to be taken by his own experiments, Will falls as well by Michael's hand. Will now becomes Michael's only source of information as the days grow blurrier.
WILLIAM CASTEEL as Sam: (the manipulator)
Stepson to Detective Sheridan, Sam desperately wants to become a cop. Coming across Michael and his run ins with "BP" at the phone gives Sam an opportunity to prove his worth to his stepfather.
