The world is a confusing place for Wendy Welcott, a fiercely independent and brilliant young woman with autism. Wendy longs to leave her group home and return to living with her sisters family and new baby girl. She is sure that in order to reunite with her family, all she needs to do is convince them of her newfound competence and abilities. As a lover of all things Star Trek, Wendy writes in her free time; so when she hears about a Star Trek screenplay competition, she seizes the opportunity to submit her 500-page script and prove her worth. However, her only problem: if she doesnt hand in her 500-page script to Paramount Pictures in person, she will miss the deadline. Wendy sneaks out of her group home and travels hundreds of miles outside her protective boundaries and refuses to allow anything to stop her from achieving her goals.
Wendy Welcott - a brilliant young woman who has autism, a creative talent for writing, and a passion for Star Trek - lives a routine life in an Oakland, California group home. She learns that Paramount Pictures is holding a Star Trek screenplay competition to celebrate the franchises 50th anniversary, and writes a 500-page script for a Star Trek movie. On account of her condition, lack of foresight, and a great deal of ignorance and ignoring from the people around her, Wendy is unable to mail her 500-page script. She decides to run away from the group home and head out for Los Angeles on an adventurous journey in order to deliver her 500-page script personally. While her sister and caregiver attempt to track her down and bring her home, Wendy experiences being alive and living outside her sheltered, yet constrained life for the first time.
