Seeking

Adam:

Late 20s graduate student working on a thesis in political theory.  His studies have slowed recently because he inherited the derelict Yankee Tavern from his father.  A straight-up guy with a quirky way of dealing with his father’s death, his new business as a tavern owner, and with the frequenters of the tavern.

Janet:

Mid to late 20s; attractive, in love with Adam.  Strong willed, but sensitive.  A match for Adam with intellect, curiosity and sexual chemistry.  She caroms from surety to insecurity, trying to find her place in the wounded landscape of post Sept. 11 NY.

Ray:

60s, an old friend of Adam's dad and the most loyal and knowledgeable patron of the establishment and its history. Borderline homeless, borderline drunk, maybe borderline unstable.

Palmer:

40s, a man who knows too much, mysterious and strange, with hidden agendas.  Who’s side is he on anyway?
