Diagnosed as schizophrenic at a young age, David is a haunted man, struggling for sanity. He’s getting tired and is about to give up when he meets the girl of his dreams. A girl that happens to believe he’s not schizophrenic at all, but a powerful mutant.

Self-sufficient and street smart, Syd uses her sharp and prickly demeanor to protect her soft core, because even though it makes her a sucker and puts her at risk, she still believes in happily ever after.

A nurturing, demanding therapist with a sharp mind and unconventional methods. Ms. Bird, as she’s known to those closest to her, has made the compassionate care of those society deems to be ‘the other’ her life’s work — a mission she’s willing to go to extremes to protect.

David’s older sister, Amy saw firsthand the toll a mental illness such as David’s can take on a family, on parents and on a marriage. She wonders, when she has time for such thoughts, if her pessimism and aversion to risk are a result of her childhood or if she comes by it naturally.

A pragmatist with a dry sense of humor, Ptonomy is the kind of leader you’d follow out of your foxhole. However, his photographic memory coupled with the ability to read the memories of others means his gift is also a burden: the traumas of others become his traumas — ones he can never forget and don’t fade with time.

Kerry is a mover, a doer; the kind of person that’s never satisfied with a green pasture. Instead, she wants to know what’s over that next hill. Always willing to tell you what she thinks, repercussions hold little sway over her because — at the end of the day — she knows she will always leave them behind.

A brilliant geneticist, Cary is Kerry’s counterweight; a scalpel to her hammer. Quiet and reserved, it’d be easy to think him shy, but once you get to know him, Cary is a slyly funny, thoughtful, brave man who’d fall on his sword for those he loves.

David's friend, who despite a life of drugs and alcohol abuse, knows that any day now her life is gonna turn around, which gives Lenny the likable energy of the impossible optimist. She lives her life like a skipping stone — always skimming, not going too deep, and never, ever, sinking.

Melanie’s husband, Oliver is a brilliant scientist and a true bon vivant with a penchant for old world charms. A throwback from a simpler time, Oliver enjoys beat poetry and listening to jazz while savoring a couple of fingers of scotch.
