基于约翰·格林(《星运里的错》《纸镇》)所著同名青少年小说，讲述来自佛罗里达州的少年Miles "Pudge" Halter(普拉默)在阿拉巴马州一所著名的寄宿学校就读，希望能找到对生活更深刻的看法，但他发现Culver Creek Academy和他以前的高中没有什么不同，除了一群马上就接纳他的异类。这群人中包括Alaska Young(弗劳赛斯)，她善变，不可预测，立刻对Miles产生了吸引力。Alaska还隐藏了一段不愉快的过去，当她意外去世后，Miles和他的朋友们试图弄清楚发生了什么。。Bipedalism, or 'two-footed walking', is the story of a painter who grew up in an orphanage and only years later learns the circumstances of his father's disappearance and death. Childhood memories bring the main character back to the past: he buys a house in the suburbs that used to belong to his family. In the basement, he finds his father's archives and scientific research documents on the hybridization of human race with related biological species. Studying the archive material, he unexpectedly finds evidence of efforts to renew the experiments on the remaining hybrid population. The painter then becomes a researcher, and consequently a victim. The basic idea of his father's research was to change, control and influence the process of human evolution - initially connected with eugenics theories of the period before World War II, and now being placed in a context of modern 'biotechnological' expectations by his former colleagues. The main character tries to recreate and realize his father's heritage, who was forced to cooperate with state terror organizations, using the results of his secret research. In a tragic manner, this information turns into the main character's reality, at first forcing him to reappraise his father's values and later driving him to madness.
