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

 “You didn’t tell me we were going to have company,” Ron says, half slamming his car door and shoving his hands into his pockets as he makes his way towards me. 


 Kyle sighs, “Ron, Hayden. Hayden, Ron.” 


 Hayden is leaning against his car, not at all interested in joining in on the conversation at my front door. He nods at Ron. Ron scoffs at him and turns to me to shake his head in disbelief. 


 “You brought Hayden?” I ask Kyle. 


 He clears his throat. “Always good to have back-up.” 


 “Then I’m just completely useless here,” Ron says, annoyed. 


 “It doesn’t matter,” I say. “Twenty minutes. It took you guys way too long to get here. Do you know how worried I am right now?” I stress. 


 “Let’s get going,” Kyle says, raising his brows. “It’ll make more sense to go with one car.” 


 “So what, I’m just supposed to leave my car here?” Ron asks in disbelief. 


 Kyle rolls his eyes. “You’re being petty, Ron, and we don’t have time to argue.”
