LUCIAN (30s)
A sharp, confident detective who’s been on the force for years. Smart and composed, but hides a darker side beneath his professional surface. Needs a strong emotional range, calm authority that turns sinister.
VICTOR SMITH (early 20s)
A college student accused of multiple murders. Traumatized, paranoid, and desperate to prove he’s not insane. Must show fear, confusion, and emotional depth as reality unravels around him.
CHIEF (African American 40s–50s)
A stern, experienced police chief who’s seen it all. Stoic but compassionate. Mostly rational, though unsettled by the strange case.
KYLE (20s–30s)
A quiet police officer who assists Lucian. Doesn’t have many lines but plays a key visual role in the horror twist.
The Monster “Demon” (any age/gender) MUST BE 6ft OR OVER
A faceless, tall humanoid figure representing fear and evil. Movement-based role—must be able to perform physical acting or creature movement.
