Synopsis:
It's kind of a funny story meets Daria in the darkly hilarious tale of a teen's attempt to remake her public image and restore inner peace through reality TV. The only thing 17- year old Jane Sinner hates more than failure is pity. After a personal crisis and her subsequent expulsion from high school, she's going nowhere fast. Jane's well-meaning parents push her to attend a high school completion program at the nearby Elbow River Community College, and she agrees, on one condition: she gets to move out.
Jane tackles her housing problem by signing up for House of Orange, a student-run reality show that is basically Big Brother, but for Elbow River Students. Living away from home, the chance to win a car(used but whatever,) and a campus full of people who don't know what she did in high school.. what more could she want? Okay, maybe a family that understands why she's rather turn to Freud than Jesus to make sense of her life, but she'll settle for fifteen minutes in the proverbial spotlight.
As House of Orange grows from a low budget web series to a local TV show with fans and shoddy t-shirts, Jane finally has a chance to let her cynical, competitive nature thrive.She'll use her growing fanbase, and whatever Intro to Psychology can teacher her, to prove to the world or at least viewers of substandard TV- that has what it takes to win.
