For Penny Lee high school was a total non-event. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she somehow managed to land a boyfriend, he doesn't actually know anything about her. When Penny heads to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer, it's seventy-nine miles and a million light years away from everything she can't wait to leave behind.
Sam's stuck. Literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a cafe and sleeps there too, on a mattress on the floor of an empty storage room upstairs. He knows that this is the god-awful chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration for when he's a famous movie director but right this second the seventeen bucks in his bank account and his dying laptop are really testing him.
When Sam and Penny cross paths it's less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touch - via text - and soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to see each other.

Пенни чувствует себя чужой и дома, и в школе: они с мамой давно отдалились друг от друга, а одноклассники никогда не отличались дружелюбием. Но школа наконец окончена, и Пенни ждет колледж, где она собирается изучать писательское мастерство. Отъезд из дома, новые знакомства и возможность заниматься любимым делом – что принесут ей эти перемены?

Сэм переживает тяжелый этап в жизни: у него финансовые трудности, его бросила девушка и он как никогда далек от своей мечты – стать известным режиссером. Но когда его бывшая присылает ему эсэмэску и предлагает встретиться, он даже не представляет, что все гораздо хуже, чем ему кажется.

Обменявшись номерами при странных обстоятельствах, Пенни и Сэм начинают делиться друг с другом своими тревогами и мечтами онлайн. Смогут ли они выйти из зоны комфорта и превратить виртуальные отношения в реальные?
