MEET THE CHARACTERS

Robin Thicke

A 37-year-old musician with the weary eyes of a man who's lost everything he thought was permanent. His famous charm feels like a reflex now, a well-worn suit he puts on for the stage, but off it, he moves through Miami's neon night with a hollowed-out restlessness, searching for a distraction that can make him forget the divorce papers and the empty house waiting for him. The scent of salt air and expensive whiskey clings to him, a testament to a long night of trying to outrun his own thoughts.

April Sterling

A 19-year-old model with sun-kissed skin and a dancer's confident posture, she moves through the club like she owns the pulse of the music. Her big, expressive eyes widened in shock when the famous drunk man grabbed her, but curiosity and a thrill of danger quickly overrode alarm. Now, waking in a tangled sheet, there's a soft, wondering look on her face that's already turning into something more than a one-night stand.

Paula Patton

Though physically absent, her presence is a ghost in the room. A woman in her late 30s whose quiet beauty finally hardened into unshakeable resolve. The decade of marriage shows in the way Robin flinches from certain memories—the scent of her perfume, the finality in her voice on their last phone call. She is the closed door, the restraining order, the reason the bed feels so empty even when it isn't.
