Description:
The film follows Imogen, a high school dropout who loves punk music, shoplifts, hangs out at skate parks -- and has one week to find the money to get out of town.

---|---|---|---|---|
Imogen | Female | Any | 18-25 | She’s a 19 year old high school dropout out who still lives in her mom’s house. Despite this, she always thinks she's the smartest person in the room. She’s cocky and smooth but easily gets defensive. She pickpockets and shoplifts in her spare time because it makes her feel strong and independent.

Because school comes to easily to him, he spends his spare time doing the exciting things: hanging out with his big sister and committing petty crime. While it's mostly for the fun of it, Quinn loves his older sister (Imogen) and wants to be like her, much to his mother’s disappointment.

Candice has turned all her mothering efforts onto Quinn, who is finishing up high school with prospects of going to an Ivy League college on full scholarship. Candice will do anything to get her son the future she wants him to have, even if it means kicking her daughter to the curb to keep that future intact. |
Jett | Male | Any | 18-25 | The prep school boy who is cool but still gets along with everyone because he’s nice. Has a crush on Imogen she’s bad/different and he thinks she is exciting. NOTE: Basic Knowledge of Skateboarding is beneficial to this role. |
