The time is 1982, and the place is New York City where Joe (David Krumholtz) and his pregnant French wife, Anabelle (Clara Bellar), buy into a tenement building on Avenue E on the city's lower East Side. Their neighbors are pot heads, dealers, and thieves roaming the streets. To make their house a home and protect the property, Joe joins forces with the other tenants who elect him president of the "co-op." Joe is asked to evict long-time squatter Carlos DeJesus (Paul Calderon) who has lived in the building longer than anyone else. But, Joe's attempts at mediation meet with little success.

Seventeen-year-old Toby (Kevin Zegers) is being held in a New York prison for drug possession when he is released into the custody of born-again Christian transsexual Bree (Felicity Huffman) who is saving money for the operation that will finally make him a woman. What Toby does not understand is that Bree is really his birth-father, but the two set off on a father-son, cross-country road trip, and discoveries lie ahead. Two Academy Award nominations were received, including Best Actress (Felicity Huffman).
