LEAH

• Lead Role
• Female
• Late teens/early 20s

An innocent Sephardic Jewish woman with natural beauty, she was raised in a conservative, privileged home by a smothering grandmother and a well-meaning but absent father, following the loss of her mother at birth. Though engaged to a man who is a traditional match, she is quietly restless—drawn by the pull of forbidden love with the mysterious Channon. Sensitive, curious and torn between duty and desire, Leah becomes the heart of a haunting journey that challenges everything she’s been taught to believe.

CHANNON

• Lead Role
• Male
• Late teens/early 20s
• Ashkenazi rabbi from Crown Heights, Brooklyn. A brooding, hyper-intelligent lone wolf with boyish good looks and a quiet self-confidence far older than his years. As a child prodigy, he excelled in Yeshiva and became ordained at a young age, only to abandon his structured life in pursuit of forbidden Kabbalistic knowledge, leading to a dangerous obsession with the mystical and the macabre. Now living in Los Angeles under his uncle Rabbi Azrael’s watch, he secretly delves deeper into Kabbalah, believing he can communicate with his deceased father while slowly losing touch with reality. Rebellious, impatient, and drawn to the dark unknown, his life takes a dramatic turn when he meets Leah, whose love becomes his all-consuming obsession.
