3 breakdowns:

1. Male / Any yrs. / Any Ethnicity. HENRY WALLACE 28-35 years of age. Henry Wallace is a farmer. He has lost his wife and son in a tragic accident only about a year earlier, and has an incredible issue with being alone. He doesn’t have much to live for or strive to. Suddenly a mysterious green apparition appears in his bedroom. He grows increasingly reluctant and angry with the press and the media interfering with his already shattered life. Then he meets an older, mysterious gentleman searching out the apparition, who will ultimately offer him a second chance at life.

2. Male / 61+ yrs. / Any Ethnicity. THE DRIVER 60-80 years of age. The Driver is a mysterious older man who enters the story driving around in a beaten up truck, carrying with him many pieces of evidence of this apparition phenomenon. He has searched out this particular apparition for a reason, and carries a hidden secret that he reveals to Henry Wallace at the climax of the film.

3. Male / 25-30 yrs. / Any Ethnicity. YOUNG DRIVER 20-35 years of age. The Young Driver is the more youthful version of the old Driver. He has escorted Henry Wallace to a mysterious place where he offers him a new life and calling, and has just returned from a secret mission to another world. Ours.
