Moonlight Mile -- A young man grieves with the parents of his fianc e after her accidental death. As he is drawn into issues presented by a district attorney seeking justice for the family, he finds himself falling in love, against his own best intentions.

Halley is a young high school student who is disillusioned with love after seeing the many dysfunctional relationships around her. Her parents are now divorced and her father has a new young girlfriend she doesn't care for too much. Her mother is now always alone; and her sister is so overwhelmed by her upcoming wedding that she barely leaves the house anymore. On top of that, the shallowness of all the girls and guys at her school convinces Halley that finding true love is impossible. A tragic accident, however, leads her to meeting Macon, and suddenly Halley finds that true love can occur under unusual circumstances. Starring Mandy Moore ("A Walk to Remember," "The Princess Diaries"), Trent Ford ("Gosford Park," "September Dawn"), Alexandra Holden (TV's "Friends," "The Hot Chick"), Golden Globe-winner Peter Gallagher ("Short Cuts," TV's "The O.C.") and Emmy-winner and Golden Globe-nominee Allison Janney (TV's "The West Wing," "Juno").

Oscar® winners Dustin Hoffman (Best Actor, 1980, Kramer vs. Kramer), Susan Sarandon (Best Actress, 1996, Dead Man Walking), and Holly Hunter (Best Actress, 1994, The Piano) star with Jake Gyllenhaal (The Good Girl) in Moonlight Mile -- an uplifting story of endearing honesty and humor. When Joe Nast (Gyllenhaal) experiences an unexpected loss, he wants to be the man he believes everyone wants him to be -- the dutifully bereaved husband-to-be and the perfect would-be son-in-law to Ben (Hoffman) and Jojo (Sarandon). But then another woman unexpectedly enters his life, and he's torn between fulfilling his new roles and following his heart.

Halley is a teenager trying to make sense of the faltering romantic relationships within her immediate social sphere. Her mother, Lydia, can't seem get a date, while her father is getting remarried to a woman that nobody seems to like.
