Trying to distract her mom Frannie (Laura Dern) from the idea that her incurable cancer prognosis has driven her into depression, sixteen year-old Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley, "Divergent") returns to the support group she despises and meets former high school basketball jock Gus Waters (Ansel Elgort, "Divergent"), who's lost a leg but is in remission.
