Forty-seven-year-old Jerri Blank is a socially unaware ex-con junkie alcoholic prostitute. After being released from her latest stint behind bars, Jerri wants to clean up her life and decides the best way to do so is to go home, where she left thirty-two years earlier when she began her depraved life. She arrives home to find that her mother has died, and her father has remarried a much younger wo...man and has fallen into a stress-induced coma in part because she disappeared. She takes that cleaning up her life one step further when Dr. Putney, her father's doctor, tells her that he may emerge from his coma if life were to return to the way it was before she left, but better, as she has to make her father proud. So she decides to go back to her old high school, Flatpoint, to get her high school diploma. She quickly decides the best way to be the best student possible is to participate in and win the state science fair. In her quest, she gets caught up in the competing agendas of: Principal Onyx Blackman, who needs a winning science fair team so as not to have to return discretionary school board funding, which he obtained through fraud and which he has since misappropriated; science teacher Chuck Noblet, a married born-again Christian closet homosexual who tries quietly or not so quietly to win back the affections of his lover, Geoffrey Jellineck, the sensitive art teacher; and Roger Beekman, the winning teacher of the past nine science fairs whom Blackman brings into Flatpoint as a ringer, much to Noblet's chagrin. Jerri also has to keep her focus on the end goal of her father, which may not be easy to do for a socially unaware middle-aged libidinous junkie prostitute who wants to be one of the popular kids, and do it with the big man and the innocent virginal girl on campus. Show More

Details

change for the better. In a desperate attempt to save her father's life, Jerri enrolls in high school to turn her life around and become the responsible person she has never been.

As Jerri navigates the unfamiliar world of high school, she tries to fit in and make friends, but her crude manners and questionable behavior make it difficult for her to connect with her classmates. She joins the debate team led by the eccentric Mr. Noblet and the deranged Mr. Jellineck, who have their own personal struggles.

Throughout her journey, Jerri faces various challenges, from dealing with bullies to finding her true identity. She forms an unlikely friendship with Tamela, a popular girl with a secret rebellious side, and Orlando, a flamboyant student who helps her come to terms with her past.

As the story progresses, Jerri starts to question her motives for changing and wonders if she is truly capable of leaving her troubled past behind. Struggling to balance her new life with her old habits, Jerri must confront her demons and make some difficult choices.

Strangers with Candy is a dark comedy that explores themes of redemption, self-discovery, and the power of second chances. With its quirky characters and absurd situations, the film offers a unique and irreverent take on the typical high school movie genre.
