Sol Goode

Sol is a charming yet carefree LA slacker who dreams of breaking into acting but prefers the party-bound life. He avoids responsibility and relies on friends to shoulder rent and career chances, even as his luck begins to run out. Through the film, he is forced to confront adulthood, take a day job umpiring, and explore the possibility of something real with Chloe.

Justin is Sol’s practical, ambitious friend who wants to make it in Hollywood without losing his integrity. He faces an abusive hazing episode at Bernie Best’s agency and ultimately resigns to stay true to his values and his friends. The arc shows his shift from a path of advancement to one of independence and loyalty.

Chloe is Sol’s closest female friend, juggling waitressing with college and keeping the group grounded. She navigates the evolving dynamics—with Justin’s romance and Happy’s presence—while remaining cautious about romance and her own future.
