TJ Dinch
In Charleston, secrets are always safe with TJ Dinch/Bartender. A fixture at Republic, TJ is there to keep the bar running smoothly while the patrons spill all of their tea. TJ is the man who has all the answers. Outside of work, however, TJ struggles to find love, even when the man of his dreams might be right in front of him.
Mia Alario
Mia Alario/VIP Host lives by the work hard, party hard motto. Her at-home finance job is her office and Republic is her playground. Since meeting the latest man in her life, Mia attempts to curb her wild side, but that doesn’t stop her from meddling in her friends’ love lives. One thing that will never
change is Mia’s eagerness to speak her mind. When Leva makes a permanent change at Republic, Mia is not shy about voicing her opinion even if it means putting herself in the line of fire.
Will Kulp

However, her secure relationship is jeopardized after a nefarious night of partying makes everyone question Will’s loyalty.
Mikel Simmons
Bringing new meaning to “party all the time,” Mikel Simmons/VIP Host can be found at Republic most nights, whether he’s on shift or having a good time with his friends off the clock.

Bradley Carter
Bradley Carter/VIP Server is ready to rebuild his bad-boy image after last year’s infidelity rumors.

Lucía Peña
Lucía Peña/Former VIP Server finds her world turned upside down after she becomes the latest casualty of the new Republic regime.

What's more, "When rumors, cheating allegations, and ghosts of past back-alley debaucheries haunt the staff, they work hard to prove to Leva that they are still fit to run the hottest club in Charleston."
