Nelson has Asperger's Syndrome, a condition that impairs social function. Undiagnosed, poor, and an artist, he is pushed to society's fringes. He meets Sadie, a young woman with broken dreams who now treads water at a job that's not her career, has a roommate who's not her friend, and sleeps with her married boss, mark. A one-night stand grows into an unlikely romance wherein two people lost in different ways begin to find themselves through each other.

A roundup of what the critics are saying about this film:
"[F]eatures one of the most stunning performances I've seen in the past couple of years...it's 'Marin] Ireland's stunningly naturalistic and almost preternaturally sensitive work... that gives Words its considerable power." - Mike D'Angelo, New York Film Critic's Circle
“Alvin [Keith]'s performance as Nelson is quite possibly the most authentic portrayal of an autistic person that I've ever seen in the movies…It's refreshing to finally see a film
that explores an autistic individual who isn't two dimensional.” - Alex Plank, founder, autism advocacy website WrongPlanet.net.
