In Brooklyn, 23-year-old Eleanor (Leighton Meester) breaks up with her failing and disloyal musician boyfriend, Dennis (Billie Joe Armstrong). She has to move out of Dennis' apartment and crash at a friend's place. Unfortunately, Dennis refuses to let her go and confronts her at her work; Dennis' tirade costs Eleanor her job. Eleanor tries to seek family support, but her family isn't willing to help. She crashes at her friend's place one last time before seeking a temporary job.
In the Upper West Side lives Reggie, a cellist and all-round genius who's bored and skeptical. He lives a solitary life as his parents don't have time for him and relegates caretakers to watch after him. His most recent caretaker had to go back to Panama and Reggie's mother, Barbara, posts an ad for a temporary sitter; Eleanor answers the call.
Despite being a genius, Reggie is treated like a child. He does his best to get around his mother's arrangements by bribing the people in his life to spread the idea that he's obedient. Upon meeting him, Eleanor is touched to hear Reggie's composition Like Sunday, Like Rain and the two strike an unlikely friendship. As summer camp approaches, Eleanor tries to get Reggie to go, but he blows it off to hang in the city for the next six weeks. In this time Dennis stalks Eleanor, wishing to talk and get back together. However, Eleanor makes it clear that they are broken up; Dennis promises to get back at her for breaking his guitar, but he never returns.
Later, while hanging at the park, Reggie becomes more fascinated with Eleanor. Eleanor's father is terminally ill and she has to go upstate to see him. Eleanor originally plans go away a few days, but Reggie suggests he go with her and they travel together to her hometown. Back in her hometown Reggie gets to see Eleanor's life and her dysfunctional family.
