Greg has a unique and somewhat strange friendship with a fellow student named Earl Jackson. Together, they make parodies of classic movies and keep their creations hidden from the rest of the world.

However, Greg's life takes an unexpected turn when his mother insists that he spend time with Rachel Kushner, a girl from his school who has been diagnosed with leukemia. Rachel's illness is a sensitive topic, and Greg initially has no idea how to connect with her.
