4 Males / 3 Females- Multi-Ethnic
STORYLINE: A young, man stands at the crossroads. He has been assigned one week at a camp for troubled teens. This is it. He must learn to manage his temper and make good choices. A tall order considering that his father is one of the neighborhoods most prominent dope dealers, his mother a prostitute and crackhead... trouble is his middle name. Yet, his parole agent see's potential in him. So, he gets one more chance. He will need to pull a rabbit out of the act at this camp. The teens here are tough... Resisting peer-pressure, good decision making, coping skills, conflict resolution, Rob will be tested in each of those areas.
ROB- Seventeen and full of potential, the only question is... To do what? You learn a lot about life when your father is a dope dealer and your mother is a prostitute. He is mature for his age and his quietness at times is a bit unsettling. However, it's not hard to see that he has presence.
DROOPY- Eighteen, light hearted and well like, however, like a ship without a rudder, he has no focus. He will drift until his sails catch a strong wind, often, landing him in trouble.
TONE- Sixteen, he's just a kid and he's looking for validation. He comes from a decent home. His admiration of Rob indicates that he is looking for courage. Let's see if he finds it.
LULU- Sixteen and pregnant. She is Droopy's girl, although there is some question about who's baby she is carrying. She is waaay to immature to be having this baby.
WHITE- Eighteen, he is a camp counselor and parolee. He will be crucial to Rob during this process. Counselor made this journey two years ago. He has reached the otherside and has no intentions of looking back.
TRISH- Seventeen, attractive and somewhat mature. However, she is the survivor of sexual abuse. The net result of the abuse has left her a little fragile. Despite all of her wonderful qualities, what she lacks most is self-esteem and confidence.
SWEET THANG- Eighteen, she is Rob's worst nightmare. Sweet represents a new generation of female... She is a hardcore, gun totin', dope slangin' hustler. Like Rob, she comes from the streets, in fact, the same streets. She hates Rob and is determined to see him sent home from camp.
