Synopsis: Australian indie-rock singer/songwriter Ben Lee makes his acting debut in this quirky Australian coming-of-age film from director Tony McNamara. Lee plays Placid Lake, a too-wise-for-his-years high school student who has always had trouble fitting in. Having spent his entire high school career defending his individuality and taking the heat for it in return, Lake decides upon graduation to do what nobody expects of him--to go into the insurance business. Lake approaches his newfound pursuit of ordinariness in the way only an outcast would--by going to the library and devouring every available self-help book on the subject. As his equally eccentric friend Gemma (Rose Byrne) tries to talk him out of this bogus plan, and his parents wonder what has become of their son, Lake learns a thing or too about so-called normality that may make him rethink his life's path.     Source: RottenTomatoes.com
