Strange Behavior

Bryan Morgan is the mayor's son and a prominent local figure whose murder triggers the investigation. He is portrayed as a family-oriented, well-connected individual whose death exposes a fragile, darker side of the town.

John Brady is the diligent police detective and father to Pete. He pursues the link between the murders and the mind-control program, balancing duty with concern for his family as the case deepens.

Pete is a high school senior who becomes involved in Gwen Parkinson's study and is exposed to mind-control techniques. He is curious and energetic, yet increasingly manipulated as the plot unfolds and family revelations emerge.

Gwen is a professor who oversees the laboratory studies and executes mind-control experiments. She is persuasive and calculating, playing a central role in the manipulation and escalating violence.

Dr. Le Sange is the mastermind behind the unethical experiments. His pursuit of control and belief in his scientific methods position him as the driving force behind the town's terror and the victims.

Caroline is a college student who works at the front desk of the university laboratory and becomes romantically involved with Pete, offering a personal connection amid the tension and danger.

Barbara is John Brady's longtime partner who supports the investigation and provides emotional perspective as the town grapples with ethical breaches in science and family secrets.

Oliver is a charismatic classmate whose outward ease masks a volatile and partially amnesiac mind. He emerges as a killer whose actions may be influenced or exploited by the program.
