Plots(1)
When their luck ran out and the world was closing in imagination set them free. Frank (Emile Hirsch) and Jerry Lee Flannigan (Stephen Dorff) work odd jobs, drink hard, and drift from motel to motel. Their only escape is through Franks fantastic stories and Jerry Lees rich illustrations. Everything changes when Jerry Lee is involved in a hit and run accident, which forces the brothers to travel across the state to the home of Franks old flame, Annie (Dakota Fanning). While the two seem safe from the law, Jerry Lees insatiability and all consuming guilt render their future increasingly uncertain. The Motel Life is a searing and profound story of brotherhood, shared dreams and the redemptive power of hope. (Pinnacle Films)
