Struck By Lightning: The Carson Phillips Journal follows
the story of outcast high school senior Carson Phillips who
blackmails the most popular students in his school into
contributing to his literary journal to bolster his college
application; his goal in life is to get into Northwestern and
eventually become the editor of
The New Yorker.
At once laugh-out-loud funny, deliciously dark, and remarkably
smart, Struck By Lightning unearths the dirt that lies
just below the surface of high school.
The film Stuck By Lightning features Colfer''s own
original screenplay. Colfer also stars in the film alongside
Allison Janney, Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney, Sarah Hyland,
and Polly Bergen.
