6 roles

BELLAFemale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A natural-born leader driven by a need for control. She wears dark clothes not as a fashion statement, but as armor against a world that feels overwhelmingly loud and intrusive. Hiding behind sharp sarcasm and emotional distance, she uses her dominant demeanor as a shield against a deep, unspoken loneliness.

JIMMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A vlog-obsessed teenager whose perception of reality is entirely dictated by algorithms, likes, and instant gratification. He doesn't experience the world—he captures it, measuring his self-worth solely through the digital validation of his audience.

DAVEMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Desperate to project a "cool" exterior, he constantly seeks validation through reckless behavior, fights, and volatile relationships—all of which only expose his internal insecurity. His feelings for Bella manifest in loud, impulsive, and misplaced bids for her attention.

OLIVERMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Quiet and highly observant. He sees more than he lets on, but his tendency to play the resident know-it-all and flaunt his intellect often alienates those around him.

SAMANTHAFemale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The undisputed "queen bee" of the camp. She weaponizes moral standards and rigidly enforces the social hierarchy among the teens, demanding flawless compliance with her rules to maintain her hold on power.

TOMMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Fun and curious. A guy who always sticks his nose where it doesn’t belong.
