Star performance

The entire star cast have done a great job. Kudos to Kennedy Brice as June. Her performance as a young girl who is shy and introverted and struggles to control her inner demon everyday.

Van Dien and Victoria Pratt also did complete justice to their characters Dave and Lily respectively.
