SYNOPSIS:

A Florida police station in the middle of the night; a mother searching for her missing teenage son. AMERICAN SON is a gripping tale of two parents caught in our national divide, with their worst fears hanging in the balance. This 90-minute drama explores issues – maternal, paternal, marital, and societal – while tackling the subtle and not-so-subtle racial dynamics in American culture.

CHARACTER DETAILS:

Kendra Ellis-Connor – Black, Female, aged 40-50s. A professor of psychology and the mother of a teenage son. Recently separated from her husband. Emotionally raw but trying to keep it together behind a professional façade. Exceptionally intelligent and self-possessed.

Scott Connor– White, Male, Mid 40s-50s. Kendra’s estranged husband. An FBI agent. Takes pride in his family’s long tradition of military service. Though rigid in his views, he has a warm, sensitive side and is a deeply loving and devoted father.

Officer Paul Larkin – White, Male, mid-20s to 30s. An intelligent, congenial younger police officer with bold career ambitions who lacks actual life experience.

Lieutenant John Stokes – Black, Male, 50s-60s. A tough, no-nonsense career police officer who is used to having people listen when he talks. He has paid his dues. He knows the rules and has no hesitation enforcing them.
