A coming-of-age drama about youthful alienation, THE GOOD LIFE stars Mark Webber (BROKEN FLOWERS) as Jason Prayer, an introspective teen marooned in the football-obsessed Midwest. Jason dodges the local players (a popular, hateful bunch) and their God-like coach by staying in with stacks of old movies; the only thing that draws him out is Frances (Zooey Deschanel, THE HAPPENING), a local girl who also marches to her own beat. Following her lead, Jason learns to "be himself," even in hostile circumstances. When it turns out Frances may not be everything she seems, however, Jason begins a frantic scramble to find a place where he can truly belong.
