Highly awkward teenager Stanley Owens fits his match in beautiful, brainy Vera Baxter when they connect for first place in the gross annual countrywide spelling bee - and the two form a bond that will change both of their lives. Though their mothers have big plans to them - Stanley will become a senator, Vera a mathematics professor - neither needs to follow these predetermined pathways. So Stanley hatches a design to marry Vera in a sham wedding for the cash gifts, hoping they will enable him to go after his one true love: crossword puzzle engineering. In enlisting Vera to marry him, though, he neglects one variable: she's secretly in love with him, making their counterfeit wedding ceremony an exercise in misery on her behalf. Realizing the reality only after she's moved away and lower him out of her life, Stanley tries to atone for his faults and win her rear. But he's unable to find her until 1 day he comes across a puzzle whose signs make him think it might just have been created by Vera. Intrigued, he takes on along, communicating back to her via his own gridded signs. But will they connect again before it's all too past due?
