Meet the Characters. 

Cruz Edwards- The talented drummer of Bayou Stix, the most famous rock band in the country. Behind his drum set, he’s a god. Playing is his escape from his tormented past. He’s a deeply tortured man and the scars of his conception and mixed parentage run deep, so deep his friends worry that eventually he’ll sink into the abyss of his own making. He holds everyone at arms-length and doesn’t allow anyone to get too close with the exception of his momma and band mates.

Tifanie Jeffries- Bellaforte is a fiercely strong woman. Her upbringing is the polar opposite of Cruz’s. She’s never wanted for anything and comes from one of the most influential families in Louisiana history. Her privileged upbringing smothered her and she’s worked harder than anyone to prove that she is capable of anything she sets her mind to. She is living proof that character and hard work are more important than a family name and wealth. She’s shunned her life of luxury and supports herself as a brilliant paramedic. She’s used to getting what she wants though not because she feels entitled.
