Sixteen-year-old Lucy Diamond (Sarah Bolger, Once Upon a Time) longs for a traditional family, but with an immature working mother (Claire Danes, My So Called Life, Homeland) and a strict frequently absent father, (James Marsden, X-Men, Enchanted) she is mostly on her own. As she senses her parents' emotional distance, Lucy grows close to her childhood friend, Kevin (Thomas Mann, Beautiful Creatures) who soon becomes her first sexual partner. After he abruptly moves away, Lucy struggles to make sense of her fledgling sex life, plan for her future, and help her mother start over again. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Jeremy Sisto (Waitress), Jon Tenney (The Closer), Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls) and Peter Fonda, AS COOL AS I AM is an insighful coming-of-age story that captures the real drama and bittersweet memories of adolescence.
