Enid und Rebecca sind "beste Freundinnen", die gerade ihren Schulabschluss hinter sich haben. Gemeinsam sind sie von dem kleinstädtischen und spießbürgerlichen Leben um sich herum nur angeödet. Umgeben von kleingeistigen Normalos und Fast Food Kultur wissen sie, dass sie eines nicht wollen, nämlich diesen grotesken "Amerikanischen Traum". Während Rebecca einen Job annimmt, muss Enid noch einen Kunstkurs wiederholen, die gemeinsame Wohnung muss warten. Enid antwortet aus Spaß auf eine Kontaktanzeige und lernt den etwas seltsamen Seymour kennen. Eigentlich wollte sie sich nur an einem idiotischen Verzweifelten belustigen.
