Abandoned by her parents and facing drug charges in Korea, an American college student has only one person to turn to, but she's not sure he'll even answer her call.
He ran away from home with a broken heart and as soon as he thinks he's healed, he...
Now that everyone has been formally introduced... Let's see how they looked when they were still in high school.
Casting is often the most difficult part for me! I couldn't find everyone I wanted in stock images, and couldn't make my mind up about Liam or Ashton! Help please!
Honey Cohen - Like most women, Honey is an average pretty. Brown hair, brown eyes, and a light brown complexion, have always added up in her mind as nothing more than ordinary. Certainly nothing like her famously beautiful and talented actress mother (of Puerto Rican descent). Intelligent, but not to the degree of her brother or father, a prominent businessman (of European Jewish descent). Artistic, but not a prodigy. Friendly, but not an extrovert. Honey ranks in the middle of the bell curve in most things but despite that, she's often found herself not quite fitting in to the crowds she's been put with - whether it's by race, religion, academics, social status, or interest led.

Liam Bennet - With a good-looking, friendly face, unruly brown hair, hazel eyes, and casual styling, Liam looks like his attitude towards pretty much everything can be described as affable. Except he's not. Seeming to follow his family's wishes for most of his life, Liam meets resistance when he's got plans of his own. He is a few years older than the other listed characters and I don't plan to get into his high school life, but I'm going to do a teen casting photo anyway, because... why not? Who do you picture?
Ashton Scott - His classically handsome face and killer smile are offset by his boyish qualities, putting him in the ranks of "idol." Often in button downs and designer jeans, the crisp, clean package can hide the conflict inside. I'm not really tied to a particular look, in terms of race, for him as I am for all the others...
Zayan Patel - One word to describe this bestie is "bright" - both in wit and in looks. Maintaining those looks and his sense of style are some of his favorite hobbies. His dreamy mid-tone complexion, thick dark hair, and lean body are the perfect base for his fashion experiments.

Emily Smith - Considering American beauty ideals, Emily has it all. Large eyes, thick lips, natural loose-curl hair, and a body type that's usually seen in that so-called sports magazine's special edition. She's very smart on top of it. Those seem to be the only gifts bestowed on her as life has not been easy for the bi-racial beauty and her mother, who always gives the impression of being on the run.

Image via screen capture: model Aldy Bernard from her YouTube channel. I didn't actually check, but she's probably not a teen in this picture. I wanted to find someone who has some very glamorous photos available for the cast update that will come after the story gets more into their personalities and stops reflecting back on high school days.
But before we get that far - there's some more people I'd like you to meet...
