the Movie:Precocious, bohemian teenager Placid Lake,
finishes high school and decides to do the one thing that will annoy his new age
parents the most--go straight! With a few weeks spent reading a library of self-help
manuals, Placid has it all sorted out--and he has the haircut and the cheap suit
to prove it. Can Placid Lake retire his rage in the pursuit of beige; embrace
conformity and leap on the fast track to corporate success. Will his 'brainiac'
friend Gemma be able to talk him out of this economic rationalist madness? And
will poor Doug and Sylvia survive the ignominy of having a son with a burgeoning
future in insurance? Never underestimate the evil of banality. Tagline:
Placid Lake isn't your usual rebel. He wants to work in insurance.
