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

 “This isn’t going to work if we’re mad at each other,” I tell her. She’s slouched over on the couch, not looking at me. “Yesterday’s practice was a mess, and today you’re in the same bad mood.” 


 “Well,” she tells me, “I’m trying to quell the desire to tell someone what’s going on. That’s all,” she says, folding her arms. 


 I look down at my script and sigh. “I’m sorry, by the way.” 


 She turns to me, bored. “For what?” 


 “For yelling at you and giving you a hard time that night.” 


 “Not this again,” she says standing. “I don’t want to talk about it.” 


 “Olivia, you could have gotten hurt really badly. I was beyond worried,” I tell her. 


 “Stop being worried about me, then!” she yells. “I’m not a child –but everyone keeps treating me like one. Always protect ‘perfect little Olivia.’ Always make sure Olivia’s being watched. Am I not a normal person who should be treated with basic respect?”
