May Ryer (played by Brea Grant) is a protagonist in Lucky.
May is a self-help book author whose life is disrupted by repeated attacks from a mysterious masked man. She subdues or kills him, but his body repeatedly vanishes. Disbelieved by Ted, the police, and people around her, May becomes increasingly frustrated before confronting the attacker in a final battle. Ted Ryer (played by Dhruv Uday Singh) appears in Lucky.
Ted is May's husband, but he dismisses her report of the masked intruder and refuses to believe the man exists. After leaving the house, he later returns and blames May for their relationship dissolving. The masked man then kills Ted, making his death part of May's final confrontation. The Man (played by Hunter C. Smith) appears in Lucky.
The Man is a mysterious masked attacker who stalks May at home and repeatedly appears during the following days and nights. Although May subdues or kills him, his body vanishes each time. In the final encounter he kills Ted, and his flickering face reflects multiple men in May's life and the persistence of toxic masculinity. Edie (played by Yasmine Al-Bustami) appears in Lucky.
Officer Pace (played by Larry Cedar) appears in Lucky.
Officer Pace is the police officer sent to respond after May reports the masked man. Rather than consistently helping her, he patronizes or disregards her and suggests that Ted may be involved or responsible. His reaction reinforces May's isolation and the broader refusal to take her danger seriously. Social Worker (played by Shelly Skandrani) appears in Lucky.
