A disparate group of lonely people fortuitously end up in Malibu Canyon at a large mountain home whose absent owner several know. One housesits; one comes to visit; two come to socialize; four come to work; two live in adjacent trailers; and all get to know each other in a wide variety of revealing exchanges ranging from dramatic to comical, and romantic to insightful. Morality and honesty, kindness and awareness, tough love and sympathy are put to the test and pass with flying colors as the day plays out and the group stays put to share a heartfelt dinner that redeems our faith in humanity.
