Directed by
Reverge Anselmo,
Stateside revolves around the unique love story of two very different teens -- namely, the rich but lonely
Mark Deloach (
Jonathan Tucker) and
Dori Lawrence (
Rachael Leigh Cook), a schizophrenic singer and actress -- whose lives spiral out of control in separate but nonetheless connective ways. After
Mark's prank on a local girl (
Agnes Bruckner) results in a deadly drunk-driving accident, and
Dori's mental health continues to deteriorate,
Mark is forcibly sent to the Marines as
Dori is admitted into a mental hospital. Despite the state of havoc in their lives, however,
Dori and
Mark are drawn to each other -- it would appear that their mutual need for love and some semblance of understanding has bonded them more tightly together than all of their more traditional relationships combined. Of course, those very relationships are insisting the young couple stay as far apart as possible;
Mrs. Hagen (
Diane Venora), head of
Dori's halfway house, is particularly insistent. When
Mark is deployed to a combat unit overseas, it looks as though
Mrs. Hagen's wishes have been granted. Unable to forget each other,
Mark and
Dori do their best to heal one another in spite of the distance between them.
Stateside features supporting performances from
Ed Begley Jr.,
Carrie Fisher,
Val Kilmer, and
