A teenage girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) is lying in the grass staring up at the stars.

The synopsis below may give away important plot points. They travel to The Netherlands with Frannie where Hazel will learn that Peter Van Houten is not like they expected at all. Gus contacts him through his assistant, and Van Houten invites them to visit him in Amsterdam. Hazel introduces her favorite novel to Gus and tells that she dreams of having a conversation with the author, Peter Van Houten, who lives in Amsterdam, about the ending of the novel. However, when Hazel meets the eighteen year-old Gus, who lost part of one leg with cancer but apparently is cured, they fall in love with each other. Her mother Frannie encourages her to go to a cancer support group against her will. The seventeen year-old Hazel Grace has lung cancer and needs to carry an oxygen tank wherever she goes. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that Hazel's other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they meet and fall in love at a cancer support group. Hazel and Augustus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Two teenage cancer patients begin a life-affirming journey to visit a reclusive author in Amsterdam.
