There are others such as family members that have interaction with these characters but I consider those as support parts. Candice (black female, late 20’s early 30’s) Candice is a flight attendant. She has a 9 year old son. Her husband and father were killed in an auto accident and she and her mother have taken to raising her son. Candice is a breast cancer survivor. Through chance she meets another cancer survivor that just found out its come back. Candice and her son provide the support the young woman needs. Diplomat (40’s to 60’s) This Chinese Diplomat goes out of his way to help a young Chinese exchange student who is diagnosed with colon cancer. He manages to provide the student with the most important thing she needs to get through the ordeal, her mother. Her mother is a field worker in China and because of the help he received here when his wife was diagnosed cancer he makes the mother part of a diplomatic mission and quickly gets her here to be with her daughter. Jenny (white female, 29 to 30’s) Jenny is a chain smoker. She has never made time for anyone of anything but her career. She has developed a hacking cough and is now beginning to cough up some blood. She finally goes to the doctor only to find out its too late. The lung cancer has spread and she’s given maybe 6 months. She really has no one to help. She decides to go to Houston for her last days to meet with a group that helps folks in her condition. In Houston she never makes it to the hotel and is taken to an ER. The lady running the support group gets to her in time to hold her hand and let her know she’s not alone as she passes away. Jonathan (9 yro, black male) Jonathan is Candice’s 9 year old son who befriends Loren someone he and his mother met under very unique circumstances. Loren really doesn’t have a family and is a Cancer survivor and has been in remission for two years only to have cancer’s ugly head rise again. Candice and Jonathan with the help of a support group help Loren fight the battle again. Loren (white female, 40’s 50’s) Loren runs a Dojo. She teaches martial arts. She has been in cancer remission for two years and suddenly its back. Through a chance meeting with Candice and Jonathan she saves them from a purse snatcher. She’s invited to dinner and there is where her battle with cancer comes out. Jonathan has no one who can compete with him on his video game and Loren really has no one to lean on. A friendship is struck between Candice and Jonathan. And with the help of a local support group, the war begins.
