When the rebel Americans serving under General George Washington need a "man on the inside" to help them spy on British forces during the Revolutionary War, unassuming cabbage farmer Abe Woodhull (Jamie Bell) becomes an unlikely hero as part of America's first spy ring. But deciding to Turn against his colonial government -- and his loyalist father (Kevin McNally) -- puts everything Abe has worked for at risk.

Writer-director Noah Baumbach presents MISTRESS AMERICA, a modern screwball comedy about dream-chasing and score-settling, make-shift families and cat stealing.

A confident yet rebellious teen goes spiralling downward into the grim injustice of the juvenile penal system, where he encounters brutal conflicts as he struggles to confront the tragedy that set him on his course.
