Innocence is a dangerous friend.

Overview

In the affluent, gated community of Camelot Gardens, bored wives indiscriminately sleep around while their unwitting husbands try desperately to climb the social ladder. Trent, a 21-year-old outsider who mows the neighborhood lawns, quietly observes the infidelities and hypocrisies of this overly privileged society. When Devon, a 10-year-old daughter from one family, forges a friendship with Trent, things suddenly get very complicated.

***Great plot, cast & locations, but problematic execution***

An athletic 21 year-old groundskeeper (Sam Rockwell) lives in a ramshackle trailer in the woods near a gated community and mows the lawns of its wealthy but morally bankrupt occupants. A perceptive 10 year-old girl (Mischa Barton) is drawn to his genuineness because she discerns the hypocrisy of her parents (Christopher McDonald & Kathleen Quinlan) and the fakeness of her new community. But can an unconventional friendship like this last in such a scenario? Bruce McGill plays the security guy at the complex.
