Following a night out on the town and soaking in a Los Angeles Lakers-Orlando Magic basketball game with his friend Davis (Steve Martin), Mack (Kevin Kline) seeks to squirm his way out of post-game traffic but finds himself turned around and lost in a part of town where neither he nor his Lexus culturally fit. When the car dies, he’s stranded and forced to call for help. While he’s waiting, hoodlums approach his car and all but threaten Mack’s life. He’s saved in the nick of time by the shrewd and street smart tow truck driver Simon (Danny Glover) who defuses an intense situation. Mack pursues a friendship with Simon, not wanting to let who is actually the second person in Los Angeles to all but save his life to again slip away from him. Meanwhile, Mack’s wife Claire (Mary McDonnell) discovers a discarded baby whom she desperately wants to absorb into the family, all the while her son Roberto (Jeremy Sisto) is away at camp and Mack is, unbeknownst to Claire, attempting to ward off an inappropriate relationship with his co-worker Dee (Mary-Louise Parker). Though the future of his own love life is up in the air, Mack sets up the blue collar Simon on a blind date with the upper-crust Jane (Alfre Woodard), an action that’s bound to be either inspired matchmaking or the failed good intentions of a friend. Then there’s Davis, a filmmaker whose movies celebrate violence but who undergoes a spiritual awakening when he’s brutally mugged and shot in broad daylight. As their lives converge and the ills of the world befall them, can these individuals come together to find the true purposes and places for their lives?
