The film takes us into the teenage psyche of Meg, a gifted but
emotionally scarred 18-year-old. Haunted by her father's abandonment of
the family, she is neglected by her overworked mother and left to her
own devices in dealing with her emotionally disturbed younger sister.
Meg finds solace in writing poetry. Mr. Auster, her English teacher,
recognizes her talent and steps into the role of mentor and father
figure, encouraging her to enter a national poetry contest for which he
is a judge. 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.
