Tell Me When is a story about personal growth and overcoming obstacles in your life. Suffering from PTSD, Amber is trying to live life without letting her struggles define her. She's strong, yet she covers her body in loose clothing for fear of drawing attention to herself. It's quite a contradiction of who she is; hiding in plain sight, yet facing the world head on.Marcus is closed off from most people, and except for the companion of a women, he prefers it that way. Helping Alejandro at the youth center is Marcus' way of giving back to the community. Being a mentor gives Marcus a sense of purpose that he never received as a child himself.Marcus helps Amber by tutoring her in math where they bond over coffee and bad math jokes; but when Amber receives threats from her former stalker, she retreats back into herself. Marcus will do anything to get Amber to open her heart. What Marcus and Amber learn is to rely on each other as they gain strength from one another.Tell Me When deals with heavy topics. It's a moving story about over coming your fears, and finding love that conquers all the demons.
