In the hip, urban Los Angeles neighborhood of Silverlake, strangers with apparently nothing in common interact with humor, love, rage, fear and generosity. Beginning with the death of a bug, each of these strangers' actions starts a wild chain of events, which includes lovers quarrels, hit-and-run accidents, a bout of food poisoning, and the arrest of an innocent man, all leading to one surprising conclusion. In this six-degrees-of-separation story, all actions have consequences and the results prove to be happily unexpected.
