Cleveland Heep (Paul Giamatti), a former doctor, became a handyman at the Cove, a Philadelphia poolside apartment complex, after his wife and children were murdered during a burglary, the emotional trauma of which left him with a debilitating stutter. The pool’s filters keep getting clogged; the next night, Heep discovers the cause: Story (Bryce Dallas Howard), a Narf[1], or sea nymph from supposed Eastern mythology (the mythology in reality having been invented for the movie), from a mythological place called the Blue World. He takes her outside for some fresh air, only to narrowly escape an attack by a Scrunt[1], a wolf-shaped creature who escapes human detection by its grass covering and ability to lay impossibly flat.

Story tells Heep that she is here to meet a writer, and that their meeting will significantly affect humanity’s future for the better. Heep tours the complex, speaking with Mr. Farber (Bob Balaban), Mrs. Bell (Mary Beth Hurt), crossword enthusiast Mr. Dury (Jeffrey Wright), and five young male smokers (Joseph D. Reitman, Jared Harris, Grant Monohon, John Boyd and Ethan Cohn). His final stop is with Vick Ran (M. Night Shyamalan), who Heep discovers is a writer who has been working on a book, The Cookbook, containing his thoughts on cultural problems and leaders. It is he who Story came to meet, and after meeting with her, Ran’s thoughts are cleared, his fear eliminated and his inner voice made more distinct. We learn Ran’s book will significantly inspire a future President, a man with great oratorical skill hailing from the Midwest, to effect great positive change in the world, but that the book will gain the attention of this man in his childhood (and such widespread attention in general) because its ideas will be so controversial as to cause someone to kill Ran.

Upon the conclusion of her business, Story is supposed to be able to leave without being assaulted by the Scrunt. However, despite this, she is attacked by it. She is destined to become a Madam Narf[1], a inspirational leader of her people; the chance to kill her was enough to make the Scrunt go rogue and risk the wrath of the Tarturics (a deeply evil, parricidal simian trio whose malice is normally enough to keep peace in the Blue World[1]). In order to help her heal, Heep dives into the pool and removes its grate, allowing him to find an alcove where Story kept kii[1], a mud that serves as antidote to the Scrunt’s poisonous scratches.
