A coming of age story, between a live-in babysitter with a 12 year old skeptical prodigy. In Brooklyn, 23-year-old Eleanor (Leighton Meester) recently broke up with her failing and disloyal musician boyfriend, Dennis (Billie Joe Armstrong). In order to leave Dennis, she had to move out from his place and crash at a friend's place while working at a Brooklyn cafe. Unfortunately, Dennis refused to let go of Eleanor and confronted her at her job; Dennis' tirade cost Eleanor her job. Eleanor tried to seek family support, however, her family aren't kind to her and she decided to crash at her friend's place one last time before seeking out a temporary job. In the upper-west side of NYC, lives Reggie, a cello and all-round genius that's bored and skeptical with life. He lives a solitary life as his parents don't have time for him and relegates caretakers to watch after him. His most recent caretaker had to leave back to Panama and Reggie's mother, Barbara, had posted an ad for a temporary sitter; Eleanor answered the call.Actors

The film centers on the life of Jimmy O'Brien (Frank Whaley), a warehouse clerk by day and a standup comedian by night. He lives with his wife (Carla Gugino), daughter, and a disabled grandmother. Jimmy's aspiration to succeed contrasts sharply with the numbness of his pothead friend Ray (Ethan Hawke), who is just trying to get by. When performing, Jimmy contradicts the role of a comedian and instead uses the stand-up form to relate the tragedies in his life, which causes indifferent to hostile reactions from the audience; however, he also provokes members of the audience. Eventually Jimmy is fired from his day job for stealing beer, which he abuses, and his wife leaves him. At the end of the film, Jimmy runs seemingly aimlessly in different directions in what appears to be him either on the verge of nervous breakdown or spiritual awakening.

14-year-old Joe Henry (Noah Fleiss) has spent his life in an abusive household. His father Bob (Val Kilmer) is a raging violent alcoholic, while his mother, Theresa (Karen Young) feels too stressed to pay attention to him and lives in fear of getting caught in the path of her husband's wrath. His brother, about a year older, is normal and friendly, but offers no affirmative guidance. He mostly ignores Joe as he doesn't want the association of Joe's natural uncoolness ruining his attempts to get into the "in" crowd. Joe is taunted by his classmates, and hassled by creditors about his father's mounting bills. To make matters worse, one night Bob goes off the deep end and smashes all of Theresa's records. In response to economic pressure, Joe takes a full-time job after school, leaving him tired and even less able to keep up with class work. Far worse, he becomes a petty thief to raise the money to pay Bob's bills and replace her records. He even does an insider job—robbing the diner where he works illegally.
