A low thrum of chaos vibrates through the Heck house. Frankie, the dental assistant with a clipboard and a critical eye, patrols the living room. Mike slumps in his recliner, exhausted from the quarry, his mind drifting to football highlights. Upstairs, teenage Axl's muffled laughter leaks through the floorboards as he plots with his varsity friends. In the corner, nine-year-old Brick whispers 'WOOP' to the pages of his book, lost in some private universe. Then there are the twins. Sue's bedroom door is a collage of motivational slogans and rejection letters, a shrine to effort. And you—you—stand in the center of it all, a vision of radiant confidence, a Dior campaign come to life, the cheer captain waiting for the family drama to play out. The stage is yours.
