Beth works as a kindergarten teacher and is a children's book author. She was about to change her life after a traumatic relationship, so she moved to an apartment to live alone and became neighbors with Adam.
Adam, an electrical engineer for a toy company, suffers from Asperger's Syndrome. She lost her father six weeks ago, and her mother died when she was eight years old, and she also started living alone.
Beth is like a pilot with a malfunctioning plane who meets the innocent Adam in the desert. Adam is sincere and straightforward, does not lie, does not understand other people's ideas, and does not have any basic social skills. Beth still chooses to associate with Adam after learning about Adam's situation.
Suddenly, Beth's father broke the law for trial and Adam was fired from the company. Under such unfavorable circumstances, the two supported each other and overcome difficulties one by one. In the end, Beth's father was convicted, and his father's derailment exposed during the interrogation process instantly collapsed his father's always tall image in Beth's heart. At the same time, Adam is furious when he discovers a lie told by Beth that is innocuous to normal people, scaring Beth away. Beth begins to wonder about so-called true love. An equally hurt mother hugs her daughter. The mother told her that no matter how wrong her father did, they should help him, and she never regretted marrying him.
Sometimes love is all about giving, even if it's one-sided. Perhaps, Beth already knew what love was in her mother. Share the pain together and be tolerant.
After Adam learned that Beth was someone he could trust and love, he who had never been out of town alone, wrapped in a coat on a cold snowy night, with a bouquet of roses under the coat—the rose of the little prince, came alone Beth's home in Westchester. He said he wanted to have a good talk with Beth (can't believe it was being said by someone with Asperger's)...he got a job, he wanted to go somewhere new with Beth, he wanted to be with Beth together.
Beth, who had never heard Adam say "I love you", began to wonder what it meant to him. The mother on the other end of the phone said to her daughter, yes, it is important to feel love, but it is necessary to love someone, my baby.
Before leaving, Beth asked Adam why she had to go to California with her. Adam, who lacked expression, gave her a disappointing answer. She refused to walk with him, but Beth still loved Adam, but she was waiting for the moment when Adam could really say I love you, and she wanted him to know what it meant to him.
Adam seems to understand, he decided to go to California alone to work. During this period Adam also got real growth. From the moment he took the initiative to help a colleague lift the box, it made people believe that love can create miracles.
Finally Adam opened a fairy tale book about raccoons that Beth had sent him that he had told him before, and there was a line in it that he had said to Beth, they didn't belong there, but they were there.
The ending is gratifying. Beth's father said that Adam was from another world. Maybe he's right. But two different worlds have a way to each other. While digging this path, they both learned the truth of love for each other.
