Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
For the follow-up to his feature debut, 1999's The Big Split, filmmaker Martin Hynes took on this bittersweet road movie about a teenager responding to the untimely death of his mother. Overcome with grief that he's unequipped to deal with, Mercer (Lou Taylor Pucci) decides to steal a car and hit the open road. Along the way, he discovers himself with the help of a seductress (Jena Malone) and the owner of the car (Zooey Deschanel). The Go-Getter had its premiere at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Mercer steals a car to escape his small Oregon town and finds his older brother after a tragic loss in the family. Once on the road he becomes strangely attached to phone calls from Kate, the forgiving and mysterious girl who owns the car he stole. With Kate along for the ride, Mercer travels west to find a new sense of belonging. A crazy road trip to Reno with Joely and odd encounters with others soon make Mercer realize that everything he is looking for may not be on the road, but on the other end of the phone.
