Jim begrudgingly returns from New York to his hometown in rural Indiana after failing to make it on his own. Once back he soon remembers why he left: a doting but overbearing mother, a distant father, and a depressed older brother. When his brother gets in a mysterious car accident, Jim must take on his brother's duties. Crippled by these obligations and his own anxieties, he trudges on. A glimmer of hope springs from his developing relationship with a beautiful nurse, and he slowly realizes that what separates life's winners from its losers are pretty ordinary things.
