ROBERT
MORGAN - in his 40's. A care-worn farmer doing his best to take care of his
family. Teetering on the edge of losing his farm and dealing with a sick wife,
his world is spinning out of control. When the zombies begin to attack the
farm, he deals with them brutally and efficiently.
MOLLY MORGAN -
Robert's much-loved wife suffers from spells of pain and exhaustion. She is a
loving, dutiful wife and mother but the stress is becoming too much for her.
WILL MORGAN - 13-14 years old and doesn't quite fit in at school. A
quiet child who feels a great deal of responsibility toward his family. Tired
from the burden of helping his father and Hank with the farm chores and
distracted by his parent's absence in the stands, he loses his track event.
HANK - Mid-late 20's, Hank has worked for the Morgans for about 10
years and is more like family than a farm hand. He is a surrogate big brother
to Will. Tough and loyal, he is forced to give notice because he has his own
bills to pay.
COACH BELL - Female, athletic and fit in her 40's-50's,
she recognizes that Will is a kid in trouble and needs encouragement. Coach
Bell speaks with his parents about her concerns for Will.
Dr. CHARLES
MCFARLAND - Small town doctor in his 40's. A contemporary of Robert's, he knows
that Molly's illness is not something he can treat and tries to convince Robert
to take Molly to a psychiatrist.
NURSE -30's - She runs Dr. McFarland's
office and is efficient, yet motherly. Fits well into this small farming
community and probably knows everything about everybody.
SHERIFF RHODES
- Rough and tough local guy who has spent his entire life in this community.
Late 40's -early 50's, he was probably a high school football hero in his
youth. Rhodes is good at keeping his small town running smoothly because he
knows everybody and is fair to them all. He wears cowboy boots and an exterior
gruffness.
DEPUTY COOPER: An average nice guy in his mid-late 20's.
Single and easy going. Likes the relative peace of working in a small town and
never thought he would have to deal with anything like this.
DANA -
Just out of high school, Dana is a small town girl who attends community
college and works at the local convenience gas mart. Robert rescues her but is
later forced to kill her when she is bitten.
MR. LYNN A prosperous
neighboring farmer in his 60's, Mr. Lynn is losing his sight. Molly reads to
him on occasion. When he hires Hank away from the Morgan farm, he adds to
Robert's troubles.
EDGAR HENNENLOTTER - A banker in his late 20's.
Because he is a city boy with a business degree, he considers himself to be
better than the farmers his bank serves and has an air of arrogance and
insincerity about him.
