Short synopsis follows:
Butchie is a lifelong street guy. He's a bookie, a heavy, a loan shark and he wouldn't want it any other way. When one of his superiors dies unexpectedly, Butchie is tasked with escorting his former boss's longtime mistress, Kate, to the funeral services. Over the course of a day the two realize that the life they have chosen may not have turned out as planned.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Butchie Nicoletti | Male | White Italian | 51-60 | Intimidating build for his age. He is a long time low-level mobster seemingly content with his existence until he meets Kate. Butchie is a throwback to a bygone era. |
| Kate Darmody | Female | Caucasian | 51-60 | Fading beauty. Hard drinker. Kate spent most of her adult life as the mistress to a Chicago mob boss -- he was all she had and then one day he suddenly dies. Kate is the black sheep of a large Irish Catholic family who never approved of her life choices; this still bothers her after 30 years. |
| Jackie Brancato | Male | White Italian | >60 | Jackie is an upper-level Chicago mobster. He is the last of a dying generation, quite literally. Jackie's health deteriorates over the course of the story. |
