[CEE]
Female, late 20s, bright, flirtatious and playful but with more depth than is apparent, Ceeis in love with Paris, and makes no secret of her feelings, despite the fact that he clearly does not feel the same way about her--or if he does, he's not interested in the committed relationship that Cee wants. Cee broke off her relationship with Paris previously she moved out of their small town on the edge of Caddo Lake to Houston, where she works as a babysitter (though she tells everyone she's got a good job at a law firm) - but has returned for her uncle's funeral, and is inevitably swept back up in Paris, desperate for things to be different this time around. Eventually, Cee is left to fend for herself, ragged, thin, older, living out of her truck with a baby she doesn't want...LEAD

[DANIEL]
Male, 40s, a pastor, the father of 8 year old Anna, Daniel is married to Celeste, who has brought to their marriage her own daughter, from a previous relationship, Ellie (17). Daniel loves Celeste and wants her to feel comfortable and taken care of, but though he's a good husband to her and a good dad to Anna, he is often at the end of his rope with Ellie, who has tried his patience many a time. Daniel was widowed when his daughter Anna was just a baby, and fell for Celeste early on in Anna's childhood, but did not anticipate that both Daniel and Celeste's relationship with Ellie would become so strained...LEAD

[BEN]
Male, 60s, smart, can be a bit tough, hard-working, Ben works for a local government agency that's observing the effects of the recent drought on the lake, measuring water levels and cleaning up debris. His son Paris works for him, along with a co-worker, Jake, and Ben takes his job very seriously. Ben lost his wife, Paris' mother, several years ago and though Paris is still obsessed with trying to figure out what was wrong with his mother that caused her to have seizures and drown, Ben has moved on and even has a new woman in his life--though he tells Paris that he thinks about his mother every day. Ben would like nothing more than for Paris to move on with his life, too. Ben gave Paris a job working for him against his better judgement, knowing that Paris may not be quite ready for the responsibility... SUPPORTING
