Overview
Itās Kind of a Funny Story meets Daria in the darkly hilarious tale of a teenās attempt to remake her public image and restore inner peace through reality TV. The only thing 17-year-old Jane Sinner hates moreĀ than failure is pity. After a personal crisis and herĀ subsequent expulsionĀ from high school, sheās going nowhere fast.Ā Janeās well-meaning parents push her to attend a highĀ school completion program at theĀ nearby Elbow River CommunityĀ College, and she agrees, on one condition: she gets to move out.
Ā
Jane tackles her housing problem by signing upĀ forĀ House of Orange, a student-run reality show that isĀ basicallyĀ Big Brother, but forĀ Elbow RiverĀ Students. Living away from home, the chance to win a car (used, butĀ whatever), and a campus full of people who don'tĀ know what she did inĀ high schoolā¦ what more could she want? Okay, maybe a family thatĀ understands why sheād rather turn to FreudĀ than Jesus to make senseĀ of her life, but she'll settle for fifteen minutes in the proverbial spotlight.
Ā
AsĀ House of OrangeĀ grows from aĀ low-budget web series to a local TV show with fans and shoddy T-shirts,Ā Jane finally has the chance toĀ let her cynical, competitive natureĀ thrive. She'll use her growing fan base,Ā and whatever IntroĀ to Psychology can teach her, to prove to the worldāor at least viewers of substandard TVāthat sheĀ has whatĀ it takes to win.
