Based on the bestselling memoir by Stephen Elliott, The
Adderall Diaries is the gripping and complex story of how an
author’s fascination with a high-profile murder case leads him to come to terms
with his troubled past while embarking on a potentially life-changing romance
in the present.
James Franco plays Stephen Elliot, a once-successful
novelist paralyzed by writer’s block and an escalating Adderall dependency, who
becomes obsessed with a high-profile murder case as a way to escape his
personal troubles. His interest leads him to meet Lana Edmond (Amber Heard), a
smart, sexy reporter who gives him unique access to the case. As their
relationship takes off, Stephen is suddenly thrust back into the past when his
father (Ed Harris), a cruel and vindictive man, shows up to challenge the veracity
of the memoir Stephen is writing. As Stephen simultaneously delves into the
details of the murder case (which turns out to have some unexpected parallels
to his own troubled upbringing) and reunites with his estranged father, he is
forced to separate truth from lies and fact from fiction–ultimately leading him
to finally reconcile his past and confront his future.
