Synopsis
Matthew Kidman (Hirsch) is an ambitious high school senior on the brink of graduation. He has his sights set on a coveted scholarship at Georgetown University and is working hard to make his dream come true. Danielle (Cuthbert) is looking for a fresh start and a break from her old life in LA. She settles into her new neighbourhood next-door to Mathew with high hopes, but with an eye for mischief!
Matthew and Danielle embark on a whirlwind romance full of fun and laughter. She's beautiful, she's fascinating and she has the power to help him discover what he lacks in himself.... What Matthew doesn't know, however, is that she is a porn-star! Matthew's best friends Eli (Chris Marquette) and Klutz (Paul Dano) cannot believe Matthew's luck but when Eli, a fan of the adult entertainment video industry, makes the startling discovery, he shatters Danielle's perfect image.
Matthew soon realises that Danielle wants to leave her past behind her, but is finding it hard now her secret is out and she is being pursued by her old agent Kelly (Timothy Olyphant) who will do anything to get back his highest earning star. With the help of his friends, Matthew makes it his mission to rescue Danielle from the clutches of Kelly and her porn-star past with outrageous results.
With a scholarship dinner, the high school prom, and the Adult Film convention looming, Danielle must make some tough decisions and Mathew realises he will have to fight hard and risk everything if he is to win THE GIRL NEXT DOOR.
