Overview

High school seniors, Teagan and Emmaline, find themselves navigating an unfortunate living situation in the middle of the school year. Forced to live together due to unforeseen circumstances, the girls could not be more opposite. Teagan, raised by a mother struggling with addiction, has learned to fend for herself in a world that often seems stacked against her. Emmaline comes from a well-off religious household where she’s always had everything she ever wanted.

From the moment they meet, they clash. Their hatred is fueled by contrasting backgrounds and personalities. Teagan resents Emmaline for her easy life and holier-than-thou attitude. Emmaline dislikes Teagan because of her deep rooted prejudices and selfish idea of how her senior year should go. However, as they navigate the challenges of their meshed lives, their resentment slowly begins to unravel. Despite their initial hatred, Teagan and Emmaline find themselves drawn to each other in ways they never expected.

Caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, Emmaline must confront the realization that her growing feelings for Teagan defy everything she knows. Teagan must decide if Emmaline is worth losing the new life she has grown to love. “Echoes of Us” is a story of self-discovery, acceptance, and the power of love.

Join Teagan and Emmaline on their journey to challenge societal norms and explore the complexities of identity, faith, and fearing the loss of those you love.
