Excited about living life in the free world again, she's somehow retained a childlike innocence even after being raised by some of the toughest gangs in prison. But there's a mystery behind her motives as she returns to the house that she grew up in to reconcile or take revenge on her sister who betrayed her. Short hair or pixie cut preferred. LEAD. ELAINE- Asian American female, 40's. Elaine is a disgruntled waitress who yearns to be internet famous. After betraying her younger sister, Carrie, Elaine has led a lonely life by herself without friends or family. Full of seething rage, when her sister Carrie returns home, she pretends not to care, but secretly wonders if her sister is back for revenge. LEAD.
