Los Angeles high-school drama teacher Beth Levine is asked to take some time off work due to her regular outbursts at her students. She insists that it’s just the irritation from her broken ankle and from limping around on crutches. In fact, the moment she hobbles home to begin a six-week forced leave, it’s apparent that there’s more to her story. While attempting to climb her front steps miserably, a light-hearted, quirky teenager, Peeky, materializes out of thin air to help. But that’s the last thing that stubborn Beth wants from anyone. After a little coaxing, she agrees to let Peeky help her out for a few weeks to earn credit for college. Peeky, is full of surprising quirks and meta-physical philosophies which Beth finds irritating. However, much to Beth’s surprise, Peeky burrows into her heart and life suddenly seems less lonely.
