Twenty-five years ago, a group of ninth-graders created a Saturday Night Live-style videotape to cheer up an ailing friend. Becca laughed her way through recovery, and the group became her supporting cast for life. The friends reunite as adults but the happy facades quickly crumble and lead to three days of moral dilemmas and life-altering choices. Through alternating perspectives, The Cast explores the power of deep, enduring friendships to buoy us when life plays out differently than expected.
