Plot

Teenager Henry Page considers himself a hopeless romantic but has never fallen in love. He aspires to be a writer and to be chosen as editor of his high school newspaper. The newspaper’s faculty advisor disappoints him by making him share the editor position with Grace Town, a new student in his class. Grace is physically handicapped—walking with a limp and using a cane. She is also sullen and surly and initially rejects Henry’s attempts to talk to her.

After missing his bus one day, Henry and Grace wind up walking home along the same route. Although estranged at first, she relents slightly and offers to drive him home once they reach her house. However, she refuses to drive and has him drive her car and leave it at his house. The next day, a mysterious middle-aged man retrieves her car without speaking to Henry.

As Grace begins to let Henry into her life, she shows him an abandoned factory with a pool containing koi fish. He falls in love with her despite her mixed signals and obvious indications that she is emotionally traumatized. He follows her one day and finds her at the grave of a man who, judging from the tombstone, died as a teenager. Upon further investigation, he learns that the dead man was killed in a car accident and that Grace had been in the car when it happened—causing her disability and leading to her changing schools.
