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

 It’s late –it’s dark and cold and late. My house is in complete darkness when I get home from work. I didn’t expect to stay so late but the diner was especially busy tonight. 


 I unlock the door. I step inside. I switch on the light. I drop my bags. I take off my scarf. I drag my way into the kitchen to get a drink of water. 


 I head straight to my room. I flop onto my bed –I didn’t even attempt to put the light on. 


 I lie there in silence and close my eyes for about three minutes. 


 I feel myself drifting… drifting… drifting… when- 


 I jump off my bed in a hassle and come to a stand. 


 The thudding doesn’t stop –it’s coming from downstairs. 


 I pace the floors searching blindly in the dark of my room for something –anything. 


 Anything that can be used as a weapon… 


 If I switch the light on, I’d immediately make myself a target.
