What if you were struck by lightning and died before you even finished high school? That's the starting point of this hilarious black comedy written by and starring “Glee's” Chris Colfer, directed by Brian Dannelly (SAVED!, “Weeds”). Colfer plays Carson Phillips, a high school senior with big dreams of escaping the mediocrity of his small town. At school, Carson's routinely stifled by jerky jocks, drama club gays, a mean girl cheerleader (Sarah Hyland, “Modern Family), a goth chick (Ashley Rickards, “Awkward”), and a clueless college advisor (Angela Kinsey, “The Office”). At home, he has to deal with a pill-popping mom (Allison Janney), estranged father (Dermot Mulroney) and his father's new fiancée (Christina Hendricks, “Mad Men”). His only ally is his hapless sidekick, the quirky and hilarious Rebel Wilson (BRIDESMAIDS). Together, they come up with a plan to overcome his foes and achieve his dream before it's too late. Tremendous performances by the all-star cast bring great dimension to the characters, and perfectly balance the dramatic tension of a script filled with quick-witted black humor.
