SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
STRANGERS WITH CANDY is a daring leap backwards. A prequel
to the critically acclaimed Comedy Central series of the same
name, it is the tale of Jerri Blank (Amy Sedaris), a forty-seven
year old ex-con, junky whore who decides to return home after
thirty-two years as a runaway.
When Jerri arrives at her childhood home, she discovers her
earlier disappearance has caused her father to slip into a
self-induced coma. Moved by guilt, and with hopes of jarring
her father from his eternal slumber, Jerri decides to turn
her life around by picking it up exactly where she left off
– as a high school freshman. She's going to start her
life over, only this time she's going to do the wrong things
the right way.
Once reenrolled in high school, and seeking to find that
special thing that will erase thirty-two years of debauchery,
Jerri stumbles upon the school sponsored State Science Fair.
Convinced that winning the fair will resurrect her father,
she signs up, expecting an easy stroll down the road to victory.
Not surprisingly, she finds that the path is fraught with
the many adolescent problems and temptations that plague all
teenagers, but especially this forty-seven year old former
boozer, user and loser.
