Michael Jones
The story’s central character. A 33 year old office clerk who recently completed his last tour of duty for the British Army in Afghanistan to seek a new life in the City.
Judith Layton
Michael’s highly-strung and dishonest fiancée who lives with him in their Richmond flat. A self-seeking and duplicitous 31 year old woman who works as a personal assistant to the CEO of an oil company in the City. She is no longer in love with Michael but is unable to break off the engagement, but seeks fulfilment with his boss, Richard.
Sarah Whitecliffe
Michael’s 28 year old love interest, and the HR manager in his office. She is gentle, kind and understanding, but also jaded and drifting. She wants to change of life to something else but can’t work out what. She is in the tail end of a relationship with a much older man that has been gradually fading out for several months.
Richard Chambers
A calculating and two-faced 35 year old office politician that is one of the senior middle managers in Michael’s department and will stop at nothing to advance his career and take what he wants from those around him. He is secretly having an affair with Judith after meeting her at an awards ceremony she attended with Michael.
