1.     Hakob  - Fedex employee tied up by drug thugs who think he is a currier for a drug lord; they wind up shooting and killing him. Somewhat comic.

2.     Ariel – nice guy who is trying to collect rent money from a manipulative “friend”. The nice guy has a bit of a breakdown who confesses that he lives in a slum, and his wife, who has a better job than he, has filed divorce papers against him.

3.     Kaitlyn – sweet girl who has bought gifts for her landlady who would rather have her move out than be giving gifts to her. The landlady rudely rejects her gifts and starts berating her for wasting her money and demands she moves out immediately.

4.     Precious – spoiled brat who has been grounded and her mom has cut off her credit cards. The brat doesn’t know this until she goes to an expensive store and tries to buy some luxury items.
