Denis Cooverman chtěl ve svém maturitním projevu říct něco opravdu důležitého. A tak před pěti sty dvanácti spolužáky a třemi tisíci příbuzných prohlásil: Miluju tě, Beth Cooperová. Mohl to být úžasný, romantický okamžik... Až na to, že Beth, hlavní roztleskávačka, má jen matný pojem o tom, kdo je Denis. Navíc Denis, vedoucí debatního týmu, je úplně jiný než ona, jako by ani nebyl ze Země, ale z Marsu... A pak je tu ještě Kevin, Bethin mimořádně zdatný přítel, který je u armády, ale přijel do města, protože má náhodou volno... Komplikace na sebe nenechají dlouho čekat.
