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

Mal: I’m home, where else would I be? 


Me: Just asking. Didn’t want to assume. Grey’s around. He might have dragged you along to a party just so he could grab an extra plate of food for himself or something. I don’t know. 


Mal: Sounds like something he would do, but no. He’s actually sleeping 


 We didn’t exactly have plans for new years day... and I know mom would have wanted to sleep through it anyway 


 I pick the door’s lock. Within a few seconds, the door is open. I step inside, locking it silently behind me, and creeping further into the house. Downstairs is dark. Everyone must be in their rooms, I imagine. 


 The slash of metal and footsteps startles me -I hear the noise of haste as someone ambushes me. 


 The light suddenly switches on in the room. Grey is holding a knife to my neck, his other hand still on the light switch.
