Kat (played by Aaron Jakubenko) is a protagonist in Head Count.
Kat is the central fugitive, escaping custody during a violent prison work-site attack. With Hayes's disguise and false identification, she plans to travel by freight train toward Seattle and farther north. An officer later coerces her into robbing a firearms smuggler, and she ultimately fights Cassidy before being overpowered and captured. Cassidy (played by Chris Bylsma) appears in Head Count.
Cassidy pursues Kat to a house with a trailer and attempts to abduct her. Kat uses the house and its appliances to delay Cassidy and fires at her, but Cassidy survives, overpowers Kat, shoots Hayes, and declares that she and Kat are going on a road trip. Kat's ultimate fate is not shown. Hunter (played by Davis Lee DeRock Jr.) appears in Head Count.
Hunter is present at the prison work site when a snarling animal suddenly confronts him. His encounter triggers panic among the chained inmates and supervising officers as the attack spreads. The available account gives no confirmed relationship between Hunter and Kat, nor does it establish his eventual fate. Hayes (played by Kyle Dyck) appears in Head Count.
Hayes is Kat's brother and helps her after her escape by preparing a disguise and false identification. He urges her to abandon her dangerous plans, but also tells her where a freight train will be waiting. When Cassidy arrives, Kat lies about Hayes's identity and begs that he be left alone, but Cassidy shoots him.
