The film follows the lives of three families who live next door to each other in the same street. The characters are struggling to cope with the societal changes that are slowly reshaping their world. While their parents are grappling with the problems of adulthood, their children are trying to find their place in a world that is becoming increasingly complex and confusing.

Jeff Marsh (Guy Pearce) is a whiz kid and a local celebrity who is renowned for his extraordinary inventions.

Across the street, the characters of the Halls and the Joneses are dealing with their own personal and family issues. Rick Jones (Julian McMahon) is a famous TV anchor, who is trying to keep up appearances despite his marriage being on the rocks. Meanwhile, the Hall family is dealing with their son's obsession with a pot-bellied pig and their young daughter's love affair with a local boy.
