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 like walking into a mansion – only smaller. The walls are white and almost perfectly clean, each window dressed with golden curtains. The thrust stage at the front is covered with shiny tiles, the benches sitting perfectly aligned. 


 Music fills the air, and the mass of people in the room are singing along to the gospel song. The choir standing at the front isn't focused on those walking into the church. As I enter, I scan the room for the one face I have been meaning to see a surprise on; Olivia. 


 There she is, standing in the choir, her eyes gazing blankly at a spot somewhere behind the people standing at the left side of the room. 


 I take an available seat on the right, which an usher’s offered me; beside a little guy petting a stuffed puppy, and his mother, standing, clapping her hands and singing along. It’s not a very obvious seat –it is, after all, at the back of the church.
