Wendy (Dakota Fanning) is a Star Trek nerd (she even speaks Klingon) working on a Star Trek script for an upcoming contest. The scripts are due at Paramount Pictures Feb 16th, but, Wendy does not have time to mail it, so she decides to take it there and deliver it in person.
There is only one problem: Wendy is living in a group home as she is suffering from autism. Although she has her days memorized, thanks to Scottie (Toni Collette), she has never gone out on her own.

One of the best movies we have seen during this pandemic.
