The lives of three young people - a rich student, a girl from the "wrong side of the tracks" and her
boyfriend - unexpectedly intersect during one fateful summer in the romantic drama "Here on Earth."
Kelley Morse (Chris Klein), who is cocky and brash, normally would never have crossed paths with the
residents of a small town near his posh private school. But when he takes his shiny new Mercedes out
for a drive, he locks horns with some of the locals, including Jasper (Josh Hartnett). As Jasper's willful
girlfriend Samantha (Leelee Sobieski) looks on, Kelley and Jasper engage in a dangerous car race that
turns disastrous, leaving a popular diner owned by Samantha's mother in ruins.
Kelley and Jasper are sentenced to a creatively ironic but fitting punishment: They must help rebuild the
diner. Not only does this ruin Kelley's summer plans, he also must board at the home of his rival,
Jasper. Kelley begins to fulfill his "sentence," but refuses to have anything to do with Jasper and his
parents.
When Kelley again encounters Samantha, the attraction is immediate and strong. First love blossoms in
the Berkshire woods ("a little bit of heaven, here on earth," Samantha calls the pastoral setting) -
angering Jasper, who has known Samantha practically his entire life. These new feelings and the
romantic triangle that develops are only the beginning of a new journey for Kelley, Samantha and
Jasper, as they ultimately make life-changing discoveries about themselves and each other.
