After a waitress accidentally hits a young boy with her car, Robert Altman fans outward through Los Angeles, linking families, lovers, and strangers whose lives keep crossing in uneasy ways. As the child lies in a coma, his parents wait at the hospital, the boy’s grandfather dredges up old affairs, and a baker starts hounding the family about an unclaimed birthday cake. Around them, marriages fray, secrets slip out, and everyday routines turn volatile across a crowded Southern California ensemble, with Andie MacDowell and Julianne Moore among the many lives Altman threads together.
