Plot Summary
Hal Hefner, a mild-mannered and stuttering teenager, leads a tough life dealing with his dysfunctional household and a neurological speech disorder. His life takes an unforeseen turn when Ginny Ryerson (Anna Kendrick), the increasingly competitive star of the high school debate group, recruits him. Despite his stuttering, Ginny admires Hal's eloquence and fast thinking. Motivated by his flowering love for her, Hal accepts Ginny's obstacle and signs up for the argument team.

Advancement of Storyline
As Hal enters the difficult world of policy dispute, his life begins to turn upside down. Knowledge in debate topics does not seem to assist him with the difficult task, faced with other extremely intellectual and well-spoken trainees. Ginny abruptly leaves of school leaving Hal alone in the team, which shows a destructive blow to his self-confidence.

In an effort to challenge the injustice done to him, Hal starts a journey to face Ginny and winds up at a grown-up celebration in her honour. At the party, he fails to express himself due to his stuttering, leaving without satisfying his mission.

Turning Point
After the disappointing incident at the celebration, Hal feels his life is breaking down. However, he stands firm, his experience driving him to discover his real voice. He becomes good friends with Heston (Vincent Piazza), an adult he satisfies on the bus, whose encouragement changes Hal's point of view on his challenges and aspirations.
