When she meets her literature teacher, Jonathan Miller (Freeman), she finds an adult invested in her budding writing talent, and he a protégé into whom he can pour his own unrealized ambitions as a novelist.Įncouraged by the flirtations he witnesses between Winnie and his fellow teacher, Boris Fillmore (Bashir Salahuddin, “Top Gun: Maverick”), Jonathan lets himself be seduced by Cairo’s prodigious literacy (including a complimentary familiarity with his own book), not to mention her receptiveness to his attention. Summed up with cheeky precision by her best friend Winnie (Gideon Adlon, “The Mustang”) as “just another run-of-the-mill generationally wealthy gal living in a haunted ancestral mansion,” bookish Cairo embarks on her senior year with an understandable desperation to get out of the provincial South, or at least a determination to experience something, anything that lives up to the rhapsodic lives of the authors she idolizes. Ortega (“Wednesday”) plays Cairo Sweet, a high school student living in a small Tennessee town while her absent lawyer parents travel the globe on unnamed business.
