Meanwhile, Jack surprises Holly when he informs her that he wants to get clean so they can have a bright future together. But Holly has little interest in a future without heroin, despite her love for Jack. Looming over all these characters is the Gravedigger who has the unfortunate task of burying the dead.

CHARACTERS: ANTON WATERS - A man in his thirties struggling with heroin addiction. He needs to quiet the voice. MARY WATERS - Anton's mom. She loves with the strength and endurance that only a mother can. JOHN WATERS - Anton's Dad. He has Cancer. But if you asked him, he'd tell you that's the least of his problems. HOLLY - A girl in her twenties, also a heroin addict. If she could stop feeling altogether, she would. But Jack makes that difficult for her. Her life has not been easy to put it mildly. JACK - The Romeo to Holly's Juliet. He's an addict but he's determined to get clean for both Holly and himself. ELLA - A recovering heroin addict in her thirties. She facilitates the NA meetings. THE ECHO - An unkind voice in Anton's head. THE GRAVEDIGGER - He buries the dead. MAN - A sweaty, gross middle-aged man. Feel free to double this role. JESSE - a.k.a. The Mad Hatter. Recovering user who attends meetings. A wildcard. VINCE - A slick user that Anton met at the recovery center. CHECKERS - Another user that Anton met at the Center. Tall like the Grim Reaper.
