The Characters
  • Mel Hawthorne, blue-collar worker with an unimpeachable sense of morality, spot-on insight and curious habits.
  • Dean Polaris, corporate-ladder climber and God's gift to womankind.
  • Rosa Perez, a beautiful woman from the wrong side of the tracks doing what she must to put food on the table for her daughter, Evita.
  • Sarah Gavin, a naive farm girl trying to reconcile her meager upbringing with her Ivy League education and some over-the-top corporate expectations. 
  • Liam O'Reilly, immigrant window washer and Mel's likeable cohort.
  • Jim Hatch, homicide detective in the City of Brotherly Love, where "you can literally love your brother to death and no one will give a crap."
