Malory and Kyle must participate in the annual April Fest production as the leading co-stars. If they can cooperate by the end of the production, their long records of uncivilized behaviour towards each other will be forgotten. 
Malory and Kyle attempt to cooperate, grabbing the opportunity to make a positive impact on their own future. In the process, they become entangled in the chaos of the other’s personal life. Malory learns of Kyle’s disturbing reality, and Kyle learns of Malory’s scarring past. Can these two brilliant but messy teens learn to rely on each other in the face of their silent battles?

Between The Lines

 “We need to call an ambulance,” I say, unloading the gun. 


 “What –and blow our cover, are you out of your mind?” Hayden exasperates. 


 “Then what are we supposed to do? I’m not leaving her there like that on the side of the road, Hayden.” 


 “Who the hell is this girl? Do you know her? It doesn’t matter! She’s a witness, Kyle.” 


 “Screw you, man, you’re no help! You don’t know shit about her.” 


 I’m panicking. I get out of the car and run towards her –she’s stopped moving. 


 “Open the back door of the car,” I tell Hayden. 


 “You better have a good goddamn reason for doing this.” 


 I stoop beside her. I feel her pulse. She’s still alive –but she’s not breathing. “We have to get her to a hospital. We have to get her there ourselves.” 


 I pick her up in my arms. “Fuck, Malory, why do you always do shit like this?”
