Joy (Shirley Henderson) loopt weg bij haar echtgenoot Allen en zoekt troost en begeleiding bij haar moeder en zussen. Haar ex Andy is overleden, maar zelfs nu nog doet hij verwoede pogingen het hart van Joy te winnen. Haar zus Trish (Allison Janney) ontmoet Harvey (Michael Lerner), een eenzame en gescheiden man die op het punt staat met pensioen te gaan en zij hoopt dat een nieuwe man in het huis stabiliteit zal brengen in haar kwetsbare gezin. Haar zus Helen voelt zich het slachtoffer van zowel haar familie als haar Hollywood succes. Hun moeder Mona (Renée Taylor) is hevig teleurgesteld in mannen.
