In a prologue, young Gilda Bessé (Charlize Theron), the daughter of a French aristocrat and an emotionally unstable American mother, reluctantly is told the life line on her palm doesn't extend past the age of 34 by a fortune teller. Fast forward to a rainy night in 1933, when she stumbles into the room of Guy Malyon, an Irishman who is a first-year student on scholarship at Cambridge University. She has had a lover's quarrel with one of the dons, and rather than turn her out into the storm, Guy gallantly allows her to spend the night. Later, they become lovers, but the two are separated when Gilda's mother dies and she opts to leave England. Several years later, Guy sees her as an extra in a Hollywood film, and shortly after he coincidentally receives a letter from her inviting him to visit her in Paris, where she's working as a photographer.

A brash American actor, Robin Grange, goes to London to feature in a major new play. The playwright of the production, Felix Webb, is having an intense affair with the leading lady, Hilary Rule. His wife of fourteen years, Eleanor, suspects that her husband is cheating and cannot suppress her rage. Robin comes up with an intriguing plan; to seduce Felix's elegant wife to end hassling her husband. In desperation, Felix agrees, but soon faces a dilemma in that he feels increasingly jealous of Robin's attempts to seduce his willing wife, especially when he charms (and attempts to seduce) Hilary and the other members of the production and becomes too popular at Felix's expense. Felix is caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, prompting him to seek revenge on the opening night of his new production.

Recently having recovered from open heart surgery, Devon is encouraged by her parents to make friends, and she is pushed to sell cookies for a charity event for the summer. While selling cookies, Devon leaves the gated community against the instruction of her mother, and meets Trent Burns (Sam Rockwell), a poor man who lives in a trailer in the woods, and who does landscaping work in Camelot Gardens.

Danny Embling (Noah Taylor), now an awkward, underdeveloped 17-year-old, has been sent away by his parents to the all-male St. Albans boarding school in rural New South Wales, Australia, in the hopes he won’t become a delinquent. The year is 1965 and it has been some time since Danny has had any romantic relationship with a girl (his former love, Freya, from The Year My Voice Broke, left him at the end of the first film). Danny is the butt of jokes because of his stutter and long nose (for which he is nicknamed "Bird"). His only friend is Gilbert.

In Australia, four teenagers in the Sydney Opera House- Sharon, Eva, Brendan and Tony- are horrified to hear the news that nuclear war has broken out in Europe and witness an horrific newscast that depicts irradiated, pain-wracked and disfigured victims of one nuclear blast with skin hanging off their bodies. The quartet try to figure out the best way they can survive the escalating conflict, as nuclear missiles start to hit Australian military and strategic targets and it may only be a matter of time before they start to detonate over large Australian population centres such as Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin, Hobart, Launceston, Perth, Fremantle and Canberra. At the film's end, it is left uncertain whether Sydney will be directly hit by nuclear weapons as Sydney's inhabitants await their fate in the Sydney underground, although the US spy facilities at Pine Gap and the US/Australian Joint Defense Facility Nurrungar (South Australia), as well as West Australian mineral and oil facilities at North West Cape have already been obliterated by nuclear weapons as military targets. Moreover, so has an undisclosed 'metropolitan' area to the south of Sydney.
