Presents
Igby Goes Down
Plot:
Seventeen year old Jason Slocumb, Jr. - Igby to most that know him - comes from
east coast old money, the second son of self-absorbed and controlling Mimi
Slocumb and medically-diagnosed schizophrenic Jason Slocum, Sr., the latter who
has for several years been institutionalized in a Maryland psychiatric facility.
While Igby's economics-studying Columbia-attending older brother Ollie Slocum
has embraced and aspires to continue their wealthy life, Igby has rebelled
against it, considering his brother a fascist (although he could soften that
label to Republican). Because of Jason's situation, Mimi has largely left the
role of male role model for Ollie and Igby to their godfather, D.H. Banes.
Igby's rebellion has led to him being kicked out of one prep school after
another, the latest, a military academy, from which Igby escapes before he can
graduate. As such, Mimi and D.H. arrange for Igby to live in New York with Ollie
for the summer while working for D.H. renovating some of his properties, before
Mimi arranges for yet another strict school for the fall so that Igby can at
least graduate. Igby is largely able to hide out for most of the summer with the
help of Rachel, D.H.'s younger heroin addict mistress, and Sookie, a slightly
older waitress with who he falls in love. An issue with Sookie and the aftermath
of a joint mission with Ollie leads to Igby having a clearer picture of what his
immediate future will look like.
