Ashley is a popular singer at various clubs throughout Creston. She recently made a deal with her brother Samuel to play at the Creston Country Club Lounge every Saturday night.

(Why not check out Rachel.)

Brandon

Brandon is a musician, playing at various clubs throughout Creston. For some reason, Brandon was recently assaulted during a gig in the country club lounge by his long-time enemy Kyle.

Caroline

Caroline operates the Creston Country Club. She and her coworker Samuel spend a lot of time at this elite club, ensuring that everything always runs smooth.

David

David is working on his MBA at Creston University. After finishing his business degree, David would like to move in with or get engaged to his lover Natalie.

Emma

Emma is Creston’s most wealthy and successful artists. Her coworker Teresa always tells Emma that she should move to a bigger city for more artistic exposure.

Garrett

Garrett is a Creston police officer and a loyal friend to everyone around him. He maintains his relationship with his best friend Kyle, even though Garrett had to arrest him recently.

(Why not check out Jessica.)

Lindsey

Almost everyone likes Lindsey, Creston’s most desired bachelorette. Her roommate Hannah appreciates everything Lindsey does for her, and Lindsey enjoys her company. Having a roommate is not a burden to Lindsey because she is not dating anyone. The only person that Lindsey needs to make time for is her brother Mason. Lindsey’s friend Garrett is always trying to find her a boyfriend. (Why not check out Natalie.)

Mason

Almost everyone is quite fond of Mason, Creston’s most desired bachelor. One exception to this, perhaps, is Mason’s ex-lover Rachel.

On the other hand, Mason’s roommate David thinks that the breakup was a good thing, since they did not get along that good anyway. (Why not check out Samuel.)

Natalie

Natalie is an instructor in the business school at Creston University. She has been married to Ian, the father of her two children, for 10 years.

Paul

Paul is an Attorney at Creston Law Offices. He has been married to Ashley for eight years. Paul’s best friend Ian always preaches about the benefits of being a good, loving, and faithful man. Something about faithfulness breading faithfulness. This line of logic makes no impression on Paul, because he continues to see his lover Jessica six evenings a week. (Why not check out Brandon.)

Rachel

Rachel owns three of the most successful salons in Creston. However, recently Rachel has neglected her managerial duties, probably because of personal problems concerning her ex-lover Mason.

Samuel

Samuel is part-owner of the Creston Country Club. He and his coworker Caroline, daughter of a deceased part-owner, spend every waking hour maintaining this exclusive club.

Samuel recently hired his sister Ashley to sing every Saturday evening in the club’s lounge. (Why not check out Mason.)

Teresa

Teresa was born and raised in Creston. A year ago she moved to a larger city to work in the art gallery’s main office. Teresa advises her coworker Emma to move to the big city to gain more artistic exposure. Since moving, Teresa has lost touch with her friend Samuel.
