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

 Olivia sighs loudly; relieved as we leave the auditorium, “No more school! No more school!” she chants, pumping her fist in the air. 


 “Until next year! Until next year!” Ron corrects her, pumping his fist to mimic her. 


 “So umm,” Malory begins, walking a bit slower as we walk down the steps. “What are you guys doing for the holidays?” 


 “Sleeping in,” Ron says, stretching. “For surrrre!” 


 “I’m going to be church-busy as usual,” Olivia says, bored. She slumps her shoulders. 


 I don’t say anything. Malory halts in her steps. Olivia halts. Ron halts. They all turn to me. 


 “Will Ace be coming home soon?” Ron asks. 


 “Everyone’s always busy with the holidays on their minds around this time –whether he’s home or not, he’s always got some shit cooked up in his head, ready to serve to gullible or innocent people,” I say.
