安妮（托妮·科莱特ToniCollette饰）和鲍勃（哈威·凯特尔HarveyKeitel饰）是一对美国上流社会交际圈里的明星夫妇。一天，两人正在筹备一场非常盛大的宴会，邀请了身份十分尊贵的上流朋友们。在宴会即将举行的这个节骨眼上，安妮发现现场有13位客人，13这个数字可没有什么吉利的含义。为了打破13魔咒，安妮决定临时增加一名特殊的客人，她命令自己的女仆玛利亚（萝西·德·帕尔马RossydePalma饰）假扮成一位身份尊贵的西班牙贵妇和他们同享晚宴，哪知道来自英国的艺术品经纪人大卫（迈克尔·史麦利MichaelSmiley饰）竟然在席间爱上了玛利亚。为了守住这个秘密，玛利亚不得不延长她角色扮演的时间。

贝内黛塔是个十六岁的女孩。一个略显怪异的“家庭”刚刚搬进她所在的小镇，即将闯入她的生活。这个“家庭”嘈杂而非同寻常——包括一位父亲和一位母亲、一个寻求庇护的新移民、一个带着小女儿的前妓女、一位年轻的囚犯、两个残疾者……而作为市长的女儿，贝内黛塔不得不适应一个她不喜欢的社会角色。然而，随着她与其中一位“家人”凯文坠入爱河，贝内黛塔将引领我们进入一个“边缘人”的世界。尽管每个人看起来都有着这样那样的“问题”，但实际上他们都只是普通人。与此同时，整个城镇的人们都在为即将举行的市政选举准备着。觥筹交错与嬉笑怒骂间，一切都在一个艰难的夜晚达到高潮。
