Synopsis:

Tristin, robs his church (digital heist) with three others in order to pay for his brother, Connor's hospital bills. If left unpaid, his life support will end because of insurance being suspended. Connor's best friend, Hondo, is a police detective and starts to suspect Tristin for the robbery as does Tristin's wife, Alexis. In the wake of the Church robbery, the pastor finds himself at a crossroads. Will the Church forgive the robbers or not…

 

Character BIOS (SPEAKING)

 

[HONDO][GENDER: MALE][AGE: 28-33]

Ethnicity: Any

Hondo is best friends with Tristin’s brother, Connor and dear friend of the Hamilton family. Hondo is a slightly experienced police detective. Hondo hides his empathy for people through his efforts to come across as a very “matter of fact” type of man. Hondo becomes conflicted (internally i.e. personal life vs. professional career). Hondo has that old, hero quality about him.

 

[PASTOR HARRIS][GENDER: MALE][AGE: 53-58]

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Mr. Harris is the pastor, not only of the church being robbed but the entire Hamilton family and Hondo. Pastor Harris’s conflicts are external (God’s command vs. Churches request) and internal (his heart vs. his rationality). Pastor Harris is mostly sympathetic and emotional, but stern and courageous when the situation calls for it. Very calm and likable but a very deep thinker.

 

[CONNOR][GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 26-31]

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Connor is Tristin’s brother who is in a coma for most of the film. When not in a coma, Connor possesses an inspirational personality. Connor has a glow about him, with command and validity in his words.

 

[GEORGE][GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 60-65]

Ethnicity: Caucasian

George is father to Connor, Tristin, Hondo (father figure) and Husband to Sandra. George is nothing more, nothing less than a “Matter of fact” personality. He loves his wife dearly, but has a since of sarcasm to his love for Sandra. (Playful but stern) He is a man’s man. Speaks wisdom with short sentences and no emotion, but in the end you know he cares deeply. Man of action more than speech.

 

[MATT][GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 29-34]

Ethnicity: Any

Matt is the stories villain and very cynical toward religion, but still evil with honor. Matt is the head of the Church robbery and the one responsible for shooting Tristin. Comparing appearances, Matt triumphs over Tristin and demolishes any hope for victory through a physical match between Tristin and himself. Stands as the truest test for Tristin in the war for his soul.

 

[TONYA][GENDER: FEMALE][AGE: 22-24]

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Tonya is Connor’s wife. Tonya is young and beautiful. Tonya is the type of woman people are quick to judge. However, she is kind, innocent, wise beyond her age and soft spoken.

 

[SANDRA][GENDER: FEMALE][AGE: 60-65]

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Sandra is wife to George and Mother to Connor, Tristin and Hondo (Mother figure). Sandra is short, snappy, sarcastic and sweet her words.
