The Fannings– The Fannings formed the countryside like no other. Being farmers ever since they moved there, the formerly huge family is now reduced to siblings Robert and Margaret and their children.

Robert Fanning– Robert recently lost his beloved wife. Without her, he feels somewhat lost. When his failure of a sister asked him if she could stay with him, he wasn’t exactly thrilled, but he could need some help at the farm. Right now, he doesn’t have the energy to handle it on his own.

Margaret Fanning– That her family always considered her a failure, rankles Margaret. She ran off into the big city to become a star, and succeeded- kind of. She starred in some ad campaigns and had a small role in a well-known sitcom, but that still wasn’t enough for them. When Siobhan died, she knew that her brother needed her, even though he never admit, and ever short on money, she decided to move in with him.

Stephen Fanning– It took him some time to admit it, but Stephen deeply misses his mother. However, he isn’t going to let the loss keep him from living, like his father. Lately, he fell in love with a girl and is determinded to stay with her for the rest of his life, and loves his little cousin deeply.

Sean Fanning– Sean is too young to notice the quarrels the elder ones have. His father disappeared a few years ago and again, Sean is too young to remember him- which might not be the baddest.
