Character Breakdowns
Haima Kellis, 30, white female, is the protagonist of the film. She is the former lover of the antagonist, is Richard. She is alluring and forceful. Her strength comes from her being the only child and has experience more hardship in her short life than most people do in a lifetime. Haima is perhaps the one person alive who has the resolve to withstand anything life throws her way. With the right mental and physical health she could rule the world. The problem is she has severe amnesia, thus making her her own worst enemy.
