The plot follows the life of recent college graduate Lelaina Pierce (Ryder) and her attempts to capture the strife and problems that her generation must face by making a documentary about her friends. Lelaina's friends include the somewhat eccentric and promiscuous Vickie (Garofalo), the intelligent but lazy Troy (Hawke), and the shy, quiet and gay Sammy (Zahn). Lelaina also meets Michael (Stiller) after she throws a cigarette into his convertible, causing him to crash into her car. The two agree to go on a date, which makes Troy upset because he loves her but is incapable of admitting it.
