Moonee, âgée de 6 ans, a un sacré caractère. Dans le Magic Castle Motel de Kissimmee en Floride, non loin du parc Walt Disney World Resort, elle fait les 400 coups avec d'autres enfants des environs. Cela n’inquiète pas trop sa très jeune mère, Halley, qui doit surtout trouver des moyens — plus ou moins honnêtes — d'assurer ses fins de mois. D'ailleurs il lui arrive régulièrement de jouer avec sa fille, que ce soit à la piscine du motel, dans un centre commercial ou en regardant un feu d'artifice pour l'anniversaire d'une amie de Moonie. Elle l'emmène même au travail avec elle, quand elle revend des parfums aux touristes par exemple.

Brad Jenkins, a 40-year-old gay college professor, is still uncomfortable in his own skin. After a disagreement with mother, he storms out of his home, claiming that he is "going somewhere where [he] is more normal." A sudden car accident propels him back to his youth and into a world in which gay is "normal" and straight is not accepted. Brad has to weigh whether to remain in the past and be "normal" or attempt to return to his old life. A local jock, who had ignored him before, now dates him. However, he grows attracted to a girl— his best friend/sister-in-law in the heteronormative world. The couple attempts to deal with the pressures of being straight in a gay world. Eventually, everyone dances with people of the opposite sex at the school ball, even though they are in the homonormative world, showing Brad's "acceptance" of his straightness is the past and his gay self in real life. He then returns to his life as a professor and re-unites with the jock, who turns out to be the gay father of a student of Brad's.

Kathy Morrison (Harris), mother of three, who helps run a "color-blind" adoption program, wants to have another biological child. Her husband, Pete (Bologna), the head coach of the Phoenix Suns, finds out he can't produce another child. Kathy thinks about adopting a boy, Frederic "Freddie" Wilcox, and Pete does not want to adopt a boy who happens to be black. When he relents, Freddie's arrival causes an upheaval in the Morrison's neighborhood, their school, and family. Kathy's answer is to adopt another child, in this case two, a war-traumatized half-Vietnamese girl, Quan Tran, and a Hopi boy, Joe. The new extended family must now learn to live together.
