🔥 Main Characters
Michael Rokk
Frontman of Rokkline. Observant, brooding, and fiercely loyal, Michael balances rockstar charisma with a relentless pursuit of justice. Gifted with a near-savant knack for pattern recognition, he sees connections others miss — both in music and in life. Marked by loss and driven by truth, he carries the emotional weight of the story — and the secrets of a past he’s only beginning to uncover.
Gina Bauer
Homicide Detective, Miami-Dade PD. Fierce, instinctive, and emotionally guarded, Gina leads with grit and sharp focus. Born and raised in Germany before moving to New York as a teenager, she brings a no-nonsense edge to every case. Trained to rely on herself and keep her emotions in check, she chases justice with relentless intensity. Her evolving bond with Michael Rokk challenges the walls she’s built — and changes the way she sees the world.
🎸 Rokkline Band Members
Zane Caulder
Drummer for Rokkline and Michael’s longtime friend and collaborator. Mischievous, fiercely loyal, and impulsively protective, Zane brings intensity and heart to everything he does — on stage and off. His presence looms large in the band’s legacy and the story that unfolds.
Tyler “Ty” Cruz
Rokkline’s bassist. Chill, observant, and emotionally grounded, Ty is the glue that keeps the band together. Known for playing barefoot and carrying a lucky coin in his case, he’s steady when others fall apart.
Leo Sharp
Keyboardist and rhythm guitarist. Classy, intelligent, and slightly arrogant, Leo is deeply loyal beneath the polish. He’s the guy with a flask of espresso in his coat and a metaphor for everything.
❤️ Supporting Characters
Alina Rokk
Michael’s 28-year-old daughter — a successful artist with sharp observational instincts and an energetic spirit. Alina balances creative chaos with thoughtful insight. She’s fun-loving, a little gullible, and deeply loyal to her family, even when she senses there’s more going on than they’re letting on.
Axel Rokk
Michael’s 26-year-old son and a multi-talented musician. Introverted but adrenaline-fueled, Axel balances sarcasm with sensitivity. Equally comfortable behind a snowboard or an instrument, he follows curiosity wherever it leads — always listening, always learning.
Carly Bauer
Gina’s 22-year-old daughter. Bright, bold, and effortlessly extroverted, Carly lights up any room she walks into. She’s quick with a joke, unfiltered with her opinions, and fiercely loving beneath the sass. Her bond with Gina adds heart and contrast to the detective’s more guarded world.
Maddy Caulder
Zane’s partner and the mother of his children. Grounded, warm, and resilient, Maddy brings heart and gravity to the lives around her. Her quiet strength is a steady force amid the chaos surrounding the band.
Captain Teresa Diaz
Miami-Dade Police Captain. Calm under pressure and respected by all, Diaz leads with trust, not fear. Her quiet strength and steady mentorship helped shape Gina into the detective she is today.
Detective Javier Valdez
Gina’s partner and trusted counterpart. Calm, methodical, and sharp-witted, Valdez is the quiet moral compass of the department. He’s the one person Gina trusts to have her back when the truth gets complicated.
Sofia Morales
A semi-retired crime scene investigator and trusted friend of Gina Bauer. Sofia brings deep forensic expertise and a calm, grounded presence to every case. Now teaching criminal justice while still consulting on active investigations, she’s the person Gina turns to when precision matters — and when trust is in short supply.
