A raw and transporting new version of the classic tale of unrequited love and ghostwritten letters, Cyrano tells the story of a proud man who, believing himself unlovable, agrees to woo the woman he loves for another. With a charged contemporary immediacy to the language, this adaptation by Erica Schmidt (All the Fine Boys) mines this enduring, human story for its deep vein of heartbroken yearning, with haunting and compelling music by members of the Grammy Award-winning band The National and the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Peter Dinklage in the title role.

娜丁（海莉·斯坦菲尔德 Hailee Steinfeld 饰）从小就是一个性格古怪孤僻不合群的姑娘，因此常常受到同学的欺负。克里斯塔（海莉·路·理查森 Haley Lu Richardson 饰）好像一道光，照亮娜丁的生活，她们从相识起便形影不离，互相分享快乐和秘密，时光荏苒，两个女孩长大走进了高中校园，她们之间的感情从未改变。
娜丁的哥哥达里安（布莱克·詹纳 Blake Jenner 饰）英俊帅气阳光开朗，他的存在衬得愤世嫉俗少年老成的娜丁显得更加不合时宜，但娜丁不在意，因为她拥有克里斯塔的友谊。然而某一日，娜丁震惊的发现克里斯塔和达里安竟然躺到了一张床上，与此同时，娜丁爱上了名为尼克（亚历山大·卡尔弗特 Alexander Calvert 饰）的男生，可她根本无法打入他所在的圈子。
