A deeply wounded yet resilient 19-year-old woman battling opioid addiction and searching for a reason to hope again. Raw and vulnerable, she carries the weight of trauma, guilt, and a desperate desire for change. She is sarcastic, guarded, and intelligent, but beneath her hardened exterior lies a soft heart and a hunger for truth. Her journey is one of recovery, spiritual awakening, and community connection, as she slowly learns to trust others, herself, and possibly God. Jess is in nearly every scene and must carry the emotional weight of the film with subtlety, depth, and authenticity.

An aging Christian man with a gravely ill body and a bright, persistent spirit. He spends his final months sitting in his front yard with a homemade sign that reads, “Stop, and let’s pray about it.” Wise, kind, and dryly funny, Charles is a mentor figure who leads with humility, gentleness, and unshakable faith. His calm presence anchors the story, and his quiet obedience to God ends up changing lives. Charles’s scenes are emotionally rich, deeply human, and pivotal to the transformation of the lead character.

A charismatic, quick-witted, and sincere young man who balances his playful personality with genuine spiritual depth. He leads a Bible study for young adults and takes his role as a brother in Christ seriously, while still bringing levity and relatability to his scenes. Xavier is protective, observant, and deeply respectful, especially in his growing friendship with Jess. His chemistry with the cast brings a natural energy and comfort to the heavier themes of the story.

A joyful and grounded young woman with a heart for others and a quiet strength. She’s thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, and naturally nurturing, but unafraid to challenge others when needed. Raya forms a gentle but impactful bond with Jess, acting as a bridge between skepticism and faith. She is a source of warmth and steady encouragement, modeling what it looks like to walk out faith in a community with authenticity.
