Trixie 30 is a beautiful and vivacious hairdresser who discovered she is living behind a facade and is now desperate to break free from the caricatures she creates.

Tony 33 is a nurse and lives his life rescuing others from their suffering, however it is his own deep seated pain that needs his attention as he struggles with feeling being good enough for his father.

Dolly 48 is tough and smart and impossible to please. Her standards are too high for others to achieve which evokes a contempt for others as she scowls, yells and bullies her way through life.
