When The Leaves Were Marmalade

"When The Leaves Were Marmalade" dives into the intertwined lives of four troubled teens as they navigate the complexities of love, friendship, and personal struggle.

It's fall, the beginning of their senior year, and things can't seem to simmer down. Sean Kruger is in constant battle with his guardian, Uncle Jason, all the while caring for his younger sister, Avery. His distraction from his burdens is, of course, off limits, but Sean can't help but yearn for Melanie Valentine. His friend Sage isn't supportive of his infatuation. Her opposition becomes increasingly destructive, threatening their relationship.

Meanwhile, beneath Melanie's seemingly perfect exterior lies an overwhelmed girl. Juggling the pressures of strained relationships and mounting academic expectations, her life is on the verge of collapse. However, the connection she shares with Sean provides her respite from the chaos.

Melanie's boyfriend Jordan grapples with doubts about their crumbling relationship. Seeking guidance, he turns to an unexpected confidante, igniting a profound introspective journey that will question everything he thought he knew about himself.

Will these teens survive senior year and find their way to redemption, or will they succumb to the weight of their burdens?
