Prisbelønnede Adam O. fortæller i sin eventyrlige roman Gro om en ung heltinde i en truet verden. Gro må forlade sin hjemlige base og rejse ud i det ukendte for at redde historierne fra at forsvinde. Undervejs bliver hun manipuleret, snydt og truet på livet, men hun møder også hjælpere, der er parate til at lade livet i den gode sags tjeneste, og som ved, at pigen med det misformede ansigt rummer nøglen til fremtidens fortællinger.
