Breakdown
Seeking:
BEN
A 26 year-old investment banker living in Boston. He is waist-deep in the murky waters of the Odyssey period,” that much-discussed but little understood phase between college and adulthood when careers idle, family life awaits, and roots are planted nowhere. He and Emily have been dating since their college days at U-Penn without much momentum, and his job in the financial sector provides plenty of money but little satisfaction or direction. Socially capable, casually masculine and always well-liked, Ben is used to winning at life. But he is becoming secretly anxious that the real world is not living up to its promises, and worries that maybe “this is it.”
CHRIS
A 20 (and three-quarters!) year-old history student at Boston College. He likes beer, sarcasm, and irony, but mostly uses them as a front to mask more deep-seated insecurities. He is socially precocious and, perhaps in compensation for his age, outwardly confident in his interactions with Ben and Emily, making his rare moments of vulnerability surprising, if logical upon reflection. He is appealing, in a boyish way, and he knows it, though he wouldn't admit that even to himself.
EMILY
Is 27, and nearing the end of her time in purgatory as a PhD candidate in bioinformatics at Harvard. Older than her longtime boyfriend but still a student herself, Emily looks to Ben as her window to the real world, which she sees as a prize waiting for her at the end of the long tunnel of her studies. Emily holds herself to the highest of standards, but without always taking herself too seriously. She is quirky, optimistic, social, trusting, and idealistic, mentally robust but young at heart.
