The structure of the film consists of several subplots, all revolving around an intertwined cast of characters.

The film begins by introducing Richard (Hawkes), a shoe salesman and recently separated father of two. After being thrown out by his wife, he gets an apartment of his own to share with his children, Peter (Thompson) and Robby (Ratcliff). He meets Christine (July), a senior-cab driver and part-time video artist, while she shops for shoes, and the two develop a fledgling romantic relationship.

Robby, only six years old, initiates a scat fetishist online chat relationship, including a real-life meeting.

Two of Richard's neighbors, 15-year-olds Heather (Slayton) and Rebecca (Townsend), develop a playful relationship with a much older neighbor. They come to his house to have sex with him, as practice, which shocks him, and he pretends not to be home.

They ask 14-year-old Peter if they can practice oral sex on him, so that he can tell them which of the two does it better; so they do (filmed from the waist up).

Meanwhile, Christine's work is rejected by a modern art museum, but then later accepted by the curator, who turns out to be the scat fetishist.
