As shown in this film she relies on Mark for most things, so when left to fend for herself, Kate has to find her inner strength and deal with the difficult situation alone.

Mark Anderson

Mark Anderson is a 40 year old man, husband of Kate and Father to the couples only child. He appears to have the 'perfect' life, but hidden behind this facade is a helpless man, drowning in debt. Mark's many failed business ventures have left him in a precarious position with one man in particular, his last business partner and hard man, David Jones. David is not a man you want to owe money too, and that is precisely the situation Mark finds himself in throughout the film. This places his much loved wife in huge danger and Mark decides that now is most definitely the time to take the matter head on. Mark is a very intelligent, courageous man and has no limits when it comes to his family. He will do anything in his power to protect them. Mark uses his intelligence to uncover the truth of his wife's disappearance and his courage to stop David Jones, the man whose presence has plagued him for over 5 years. This character identifies with men who have always worked hard, and never had any success in life.

David Jones

David Jones is a 45 year old businessman with an unhonourable reputation. He is very successful financially due to running his own debt collection company, but his life is one which revolves around making money and nothing else. He has never had time for family, friends, or anything that could take away from his monetry gain. David is known for using violent means and often takes advantage of people weaker than himself to get what he wants. He has no care for anyone else his actions may effect, he cares only for himself. David is a large man, who if the people he pays to fight his battles are not up to scratch, would not mind doing the dirty work himself. He has a way of avoiding the police, and uses his wealth as a powerful tool in defying the law. This includes paying people to keep the silence like he does in this film. David bailed Mark Anderson out when a joint business venture they had, failed miserably many years ago. Not one to forget a huge loss of money, David has been making Mark's life hell for the past 5 years, and is not about to give up now.
