She is housebound during the day with only her father (Riggle) for company, but during the night she goes out and lives a small but simple life playing guitar in the streets. One night, she meets Charlie (Schwarzenegger), a high-school athlete she has admired for years, and they begin a relationship – but only after she hides her condition from him…
