Rebounding after a rough break-up, fifteen-year-old boy Mika falls for Leah, a beautiful, lively deaf girl. Mika learns sign language, but grasping the cultural implications of dating a deaf woman proves more challenging than the language barrier. Facts about deafness are poorly integrated into the story, but Mika's navigation of sex, love, and social expectations is convincing.
