A dark, intimate portrait of a troubled teenage girl whose relationship with her teacher becomes emotionally and morally complicated as she seeks escape through poetry.

Meg is a gifted but emotionally scarred 18-year-old who finds solace in writing poetry. Mr. Auster, her English teacher, recognizes her talent and encourages her to enter a national poetry contest. As tension at home escalates and Meg struggles to find a way to get to the poetry finals in Florida, Auster's role in her life becomes increasingly complex.
