world with no uncertainty
JIM CLEVELAND: Mid 30s. June’s husband. Sick of small town life. A Man’s
man who happens to like baking and high heels.
BARB: Late 20s to early 30s. No-nonsense and independent. Refuses to
conform to stereotypical gender norms
VIVIAN: Late 30s to mid 40s: wife of a philandering local preacher. On a
mission to be the hottest Christian woman in town.
