In Orlando, Florida, Quentin "Q" Jacobsen (Nat Wolff) lives next door to his childhood friend Margo Roth Spiegelman (Cara Delevingne). Quentin has been fascinated with Margo ever since she moved in across the street. As young children, Quentin and Margo one day discover the corpse of a man who has committed suicide. Following this incident, the movie flashes forward to present-day Quentin and Margo, who are now high school seniors. While they have drifted apart, Quentin still has feelings for her. One night, Margo appears at Quentin's bedroom window with a plan to take revenge on her high school friends and boyfriend, who she feels have betrayed her. She convinces Quentin to help her as she needs a getaway driver and some assistance.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_Towns_(film)

Margo and Quentin shop for a list of items needed for their mission. They then visit Margo's ex-boyfriend, Jase, who has been cheating on her with her best friend Becca. Margo has Quentin call Becca's parents to inform them that their daughter is currently having sex with Jase in their basement. As a naked Jase attempts to escape the house, Quentin takes a picture of him on his cell phone. Margo and Quentin then break into Becca's home, graffiti a blue "M" for Margo on her wall, and leave a dead catfish in her basement to symbolize her betrayal. They then visit Lacey (Halston Sage), one of Margo's best friends. Margo assumes Lacey knew about Jase's affair with Becca and is hurt that she never told her. Margo and Quentin cover Lacey's parked car with Saran Wrap and Margo leaves a note stating their friendship is over. They also visit Chuck Parson, the high school bully and Lacey's boyfriend. Quentin is hesitant about seeking revenge on him, but when Margo tells him that he was responsible for embarrassing him at an eighth grade dance, Quentin agrees to the revenge plan. They sneak into his house, remove one of his eyebrows with hair removal cream, graffiti a blue "M" on the door and slather Vaseline on the door handle before running away as he is awaken from his sleep.
They then sneak into the SunTrust Center and enter a conference room on one of the higher floors to see a panorama of Orlando. Here, Margo, for the first time, refers to Orlando and their subdivision as a "paper town". She describes it as "fake" and "not even hard enough to be made of plastic". They both return home and Margo hugs him, telling him that maybe things would have been different if they had spent more time together. As the day ends, Quentin wonders if things will be different between them in the morning.
However, Margo does not show up to school that morning, or for the next several days. Quentin realizes she is missing, while others including her parents presume that she has run away from home. She has done this at least four other times, only to come back home later. Quentin and his friends, Ben (Austin Abrams) and Radar (Justice Smith) notice a poster ofWoody Guthrie taped to the back of Margo's bedroom shades. They bribe her little sister, Ruthie, to let them in while her parents are not home, so that they can search through Margo's room. They believe that Margo has left clues behind for Quentin to find her. He soon finds a small piece of paper in his door hinge with an address. Hoping it will lead them to where Margo is, Quentin and his friends decide to skip school the following day to visit the address on the piece of paper. At this location, they find an abandoned souvenir store that contains evidence of her recent presence.
Quentin eventually discovers how to find Margo's location. He matches up the holes from the tacks in the store wall to a page in an old atlas. This leads him to discover that Margo has been hiding in Agloe, New York, a fictional town that mapmakers use as a copyright trap ("paper town"). Quentin, Radar, Ben, Radar's girlfriend, Angela (Jaz Sinclair) and Lacey who still cares for Margo, decide to drive to New York to search for her. The group is put under a time constraint as they want to make it back in time for prom.
