Set in the garage hang-out of a high-school student who uses his dying mother’s medical marijuana to combat his own feelings of desperation, helplessness and panic, "best.worst.best." examines one boy’s attempts to appear “normal” in his relationships with his older brother, his classmates, and his grieving father while also dealing with the intense scrutiny that comes with a family tragedy in a small community.
