Gloria

Gloria, a former mobster's girlfriend, becomes the improbable guardian of Phil and Jeri's family. She moves through danger with grit and an unexpected tenderness for the child she protects. Her street-smarts drive the chase and force her to confront the consequences of her past.

Jeri is a frightened mother who pleads with Gloria to shield her children from the hit. She embodies maternal fear and fierce resolve to keep her family safe. Her presence acts as the catalyst for Gloria's involvement in the Dawns' perilous world.

Jack Dawn is an accountant for a NYC mob family and an FBI informant, making him a prime target. His double life places his wife and child in jeopardy and triggers Gloria's intervention. His risky choices catalyze the criminals' pursuit of the Dawns.

Phil is the Dawns' young son whose innocence is endangered by the mob's reach. He shows stubborn independence and resourcefulness, shaping Gloria's protective mission. His safety anchors the film's emotional tension.

Mr. Tanzinni is the mob boss whose power is sustained by fear and a deadly ledger. His demand for immunity and control drives much of the film's conflict. His presence looms as a constant threat that forces Gloria to act.

A mob enforcer relentlessly pursues Gloria and Phil, showing brutal efficiency and a willingness to cross lines to retrieve the ledger and crush resistance.

Another mob associate adds pressure by closing in on Gloria in public spaces, turning everyday streets into perilous choke points.

A third gangster figure embodies the mob's reach, contributing to the sense that no place is safe while Gloria carries the ledger.
