Fourteen-year-old Kevin Boland, a.k.a. Shakespeare, is a budding poet. He's angry to learn that his father is ready to date so soon after Kevin's mother's death but is even more bothered by the confusion in his own love life. His girlfriend, Mira, is beautiful and nice, but she just doesn't seem to understand him, or his poetry, as well as Amy, a cute fellow poet, does.
