Cam Campbell, a football player, has a crush on Ellen Foster, the photography girl. In their high school photography class, Cam and Ellen are assigned to work on a project with Laura, an Irish girl, and Patrick. This causes the dynamics of the group to be strained. Ellen has cerebal palsy and is always prone to falling. Soon she is hurt in a fall, breaking both of her legs, and the two boys who were involved, one of them Cam, are to blame.
