Five years after the death of her beloved husband Garrett, Nikki meets Tom, a man who who looks exactly like her deceased husband.

Not only does Tom possess the same physical characteristics, but he also shares Garrett's kindness, humour, and passion for art.

Suddenly, a flood of old feelings rush back to Nikki: she's met the love of her life.

Lester is a 42-year-old man living in the suburbs, and working a boring job in advertising. His wife Carolyn is an ambitious realtor; his rebellious and confused daughter Jane is an average teenager, unhappy with her physical appearance and harboring resentment for her father because of the lack of attention he shows her.

Dissatisfied with his nondescript life and sexually frustrated by his wife, Lester finds motivation for transforming himself after meeting Angela Hayes, Jane's best friend and classmate. Angela, a beautiful, confident, and supposedly promiscuous cheerleader who aspires to be a model, captivates Lester the moment he sees her perform a school dance routine, and he develops an obvious crush on her, much to Jane's embarrassment.

From here on, things take a turn down a sad, twisted and sometimes humorous road.
