A Good Day LA Pick
Among fake Instagram pages, long-buried family secrets, and the horrors of middle school, one suburban mom searches to find herself.
Alice Sullivan feels like shes finally found her groove in middle age, but it only takes one moment for her perfectly curated life to unravel. On the same day she learns her daughter is struggling in second grade, a call from her sons school accusing him of bullying throws Alice into a tailspin.
When it comes to light that the incident is part of a new behavior pattern for her son, one complete with fake social media profiles with a lot of questionable content, Alices social standing is quickly eroded to one of those moms who cant control her kids. Soon shes facing the very judgement she was all too happy to dole out when she thought no one was looking (or when she thought her house wasnt made of glass).
Then her mother unloads a family secret shes kept for more than thirty years, and Alices entire perception of herself is shattered.
As her sons new reputation polarizes her friendships and her family buzzes with the ramification of her mothers choices, Alice realizes that shes been too focused on measuring her success and happiness by everyone else''s standards. Now, with all her shortcomings laid bare, shell have to figure out to whom to turn for help and decide who she really wants to be.
