When a progressive suburban attorney invites his son—freshly pardoned for crimes committed during the January 6th uprising—into the upscale home he shares with his African-American partner, the reunion explodes into a darkly comic battle over guns, race, and America’s fractured pride. Blending tense domestic realism with sharply satirical humor, TRESPASSERS creates a world in which menace and laughter live side by side. The result is an unsettling portrait of a nation in crisis, asking whether reconciliation is even possible when ideology, prejudice, and denial trespass into our most intimate spaces.
STEPHEN J. Herrick — Male, White, mid-50s. A progressive suburban attorney whose earnest desire to keep the peace often collides with his fear of confrontation. Intelligent, anxious, well-meaning, and sometimes paralyzed by guilt and his sense of parental obligation.
CAROLINE Thompson — Female, Black/African-American, mid-40s. Stephen’s partner. Stylish, poised, and grounded, with a fierce moral compass. Carries the weight of personal tragedy involving gun violence. Sharp-witted, emotionally perceptive, and unafraid to speak hard truths. A commanding presence.
JASON Herrick — Male, White, mid-20s. Stephen’s estranged son, freshly pardoned for crimes committed during the January 6th uprising. Volatile, wounded, searching for identity. Deeply entrenched in extremist ideology, yet desperate for his father’s approval.
ANNIE Cates — Female, White, mid-30s. Jason’s fiancée. Tough, loud, unfiltered, fiercely loyal. A survivor of addiction, abuse, and instability. Brings chaotic energy and unexpected vulnerability.
KENNETH Barthel — Male, White, mid-50s. A large, unkempt police officer with an idiosyncratic, unpredictable approach to his work.
HAKEEM Norris — Male, Black/African-American, early-to-mid 30s. Kenneth’s partner. Polite, deadpan, and quietly devoted to Kenneth.
