STORY
The film is about Ray & Claire, two longtime lovers and corporate spies team up to stage an elaborate con and steal a valuable product.


Breakdown
Richard Garsik
45-65. This "hyperactive, hyper-effective and hypervisionary" man is the extremely wealthy, powerful CEO of Equikrom. He is absolutely obsessed with discovering what his rival, CEO Howard Tully, is up to at his company, Burkett & Randle. Though Garsik is a ruthless shark in the corporate world, he also displays a joviality that can be amusing and disarming; he loves playing spy vs. spy and gets very excited about the possibility of covert meetings. He's convinced that Tully is waiting for Garsik's shareholder conference before unveiling his new, top-secret product, and Garsik demands that his team of corporate spies steal the intel first. Lead;

Howard Tully
50-75. The beloved CEO of Burkett & Randle, he is a towering legend in the corporate world, an origami fan and the type of guy who will buy a dump just so he can go through a competitor's trash. He is on the verge of unleashing a super-secret new product that will reposition his company in the global marketplace, and his rival Garsik is desperate to find out what it is. He calls Claire into his office to discuss corporate evolution and to reveal the nature of the product. Lead;

Duke Monahan
40-60, tough and intelligent, but with a good sense of humor when warranted. He's a mercenary spy for hire and the leader of Equikrom's corporate espionage group. He runs all the meetings that keep Garsik up-to-date on the group's progress, and he's extremely entertained by the fact that Ray and Claire have an acrimonious romantic history. Lead;

Jeff Bauer
30s-40s, shifty and engaging. He is Claire's co-worker and rival in the Counterintelligence Department of Burkett & Randle. He's "torn between the desire to seduce and destroy," but though he's attracted to Claire, mostly we get the sense he can't wait to stab her in the back. He and Claire go undercover to extract Ronny Partiz, the creator of Burkett & Randle's top-secret new product, from a casino in the Bahamas. Bauer's agenda fluctuates from loyal company man to sniveling out-and-out thief and back again. Lead;

Fetyov
Russian (and speaks it fluently), with a seen-it-all demeanor and attire. He works with Ray in corporate guerilla espionage for Equikrom. He and Ray infiltrate Burkett & Randle's Travel Department and head to the Bahamas in an attempt to locate Ronny Partiz. Lead;

Ned Guston
40-60, skilled and strong, his impressive resume includes the Marine Corps, Chicago PD and FBI; now he leads the Counterintelligence Office at Burkett & Randle, where he participates in weekly briefing sessions with Claire and Bauer, and orders their assignments. Lead;

Dale
Another member of Equikrom's corporate espionage team. He works with Ray and grows frustrated when Ray alters protocol; however, he also thinks Ray is the man, and he likes quoting Ray and playing the tape of Ray and Claire's fight. Supporting;

Pam Frales
50ish. This super capable, slightly sharp-tongued woman is another member of Equikrom's corporate espionage team. You name it, she can do it. She tells Duke that there's nothing going on in Burkett & Randle's Research and Development Department; whatever their new product is, it must be from outside. Supporting;

Parvez Patel
20s-30s, Middle Eastern. Good with computers, he's a "walking algorithm" who used to work for the Pentagon and now works for Equikrom's corporate espionage team. He helps hijack Burkett & Randle's signal traffic by planting a copier in Human Resources. Supporting;

Barbara Bofferd
40, a Manhattanite with Tennessee roots. She is the Senior Account Executive at Burkett & Randle's Travel Department. While enjoying a cocktail after work, she is charmed and seduced by Ray (and his faux-Southern gentleman act). She is happy to help him with his "travel problem" and gets totally snowed in the process. She sobs during Claire's interrogation, but insists if she had it to do over again, she wouldn't change a thing;

Ronny Partiz
25, scrawny and self-serving, he was kicked out of Cornell Med School for plagiarizing an article, but became a biochemistry whiz who developed a skin cream and created Dermavale Labs, which was sold to Burkett & Randle for billions. Now he spends his days wasted and out of it, living in a $10,000/day penthouse in the Bahamas;

Turtleneck
