With no money to cremate or hold a funeral, a numb Daryl decides to dispose of the body himself. In between searching for caskets at Costco, attempting to sell the body to science, and illegally cruising down carpool lanes with his dead brother by his side, Daryl learns one of the toughest lessons in life: how to grieve for the loss of a loved one.
Seeking:
DARYL: (Lead) Male / Caucasian / 18-early 20’s to play younger, Daryl is truly a kid from the wrong side of the tracks. Growing up in a trailer park in East Los Angeles, Daryl’s hopes for college were dashed at an early age by the increasing medical costs of his wheelchair-bound mentally handicapped brother, Sebastian. An avid artist, Daryl sketches his dreams that have always been out of reach nice houses, cars, and office buildings. Things he can only imagine his father, who left when Daryl was very young, pursuing out in Hollywood. Daryl’s a guy that’s had to take care of the family since he was a little boy. He’s the responsible one. He’s had to give up his dreams to take care of his brother. He’s resentful, cynical, and barely restrained. Daryl wants to be somebody important. He wants the life he imagines everyone in Hollywood has. But before he can ditch life in a trailer park, he has to dispose of his brother’s body first. LEAD
