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?

 “You’re lying to my face,” he cries, “Let me see your phone!” 


 “Ron, I swear I’m not lying –fine,” I say, handing over the device, “look through it. I deleted it. I swear.” 


 Ron flicks his thumb across the screen to search for the video of him butt-naked, running down the street with the boom box blasting ‘All By Myself’. It’s not there.

 “We can’t tell them. Malory doesn’t need to know. Kyle doesn’t need to know. They’re both better off not knowing,” Ron says. 


 “Not knowing what?” a voice says behind us. 


 Ron and I both turn in our seats to find a curious Malory and Kyle, with their arms folded, staring at us in boredom.
