Meg
is 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.
