Episode 1 of the "Maple Ave" Series. Provides look at teen depression and the often unwitting family dynamics that surround it. The powerful, award-winning short finds its main character, Jenny, in the throes of clinical depression, unable to understand the reasons she feels so bad all the time. Deeply confused and desperately overwhelmed, Jenny makes plans to end her life--plans that are ultimately thwarted when her best friend, Tanya, confronts her and shares a dark secret of her own. NOTE: Contains profanity.
