Calloway will play Kevin, Holden's childhood best friend, now a therapist, who is haunted by guilt after the incident that put Holden in a coma. Gwyn will play Willa, a beautiful woman who appears to be interested in Holden and who warns him he is in great danger. Rosemont will play Diane, Holden's mother who has refused to give up on him throughout his coma and now is determined to protect him. McGrady will play Tom, Holden's father who is emotionally withdrawn after his son's ordeal and defers to his wife.
