Kit only agreed to do this because he wanted to escape from his own life for a little bit.  How could he ever have dreamt of what this little adventure would bring.  But, he's now got the lead in the school play and he's finding he likes acting.  And he's good at it.  The female lead is Lindsay Walsh who knows she's good.  She's been acting most of her life and she plans to continue in college.  What both of them will find is that they are acting in real life too.  Kit is secretly gay and is afraid to tell anyone other then his best friend Carma.  Through alternately narration, we get to know both Kit and Lindsay and others have yet to know them.
