DWAYNE JORDAN
(Male, 30s–40s): A blue-collar construction worker who’s turned into a weary, middle-aged “deadbeat dad.” Dwayne stumbles home each evening—not to family, but to the comforting numbness behind the bar at Milly’s Tavern. A serious drinking problem has worn away what was once a hopeful dad. At home, his wife Betsy—a waitress at the local diner—struggles to hold the family together as his absence looms larger each night. His young son, Timmy, is emotionally fractured by the ghost of a father he doesn’t recognize. When Pastor John Crossley stops by the diner and meets Betsy, a flicker of grace might just spark hope for this fractured family.
