Henry Poole just wants to disappear. Shattered not later than circumstances beyond his mastery, he offers intact cost on a cookie cutter house in a drab, -class, L.A. neighborhood through his bouncy realtor Meg. But, decent as he settles in to his lax isolation with a case of vodka and all the cast aside aliment he can eat, his neighbor, a well-sense busybody named Esperanza, drops by way of with a illustration of homemade tamales and a whole lot of questions.
