The lives of several strangers intersect: when Arden (Toni Collette) finds a dead girl near a river, she begins to attract attention. But the incident triggers a conflict with her aged, ailing mother. At the morgue, forensics student Leah (Rose Byrne) comes to believe that the dead girl is her sister who has been missing for 15 years but her parents refuse to believe it. Meanwhile at the trailer park, Ruth (Mary Beth Hurt) discovers evidence against her husband, incriminating him as a serial killer. When police identify the dead girl as Krista (Brittany Murphy), her mother (Marcia Gay Harden) drives from Washington to Los Angeles to identify the body. She meets Kirsta's former room-mate, a prostitute who reveals dark, damaging secrets about Krista's home life.
