Novalee Nation is a 17-year-old Tennessee transient who has to grow up in a hurry when she's left pregnant and abandoned by her boyfriend on a roadside, and takes refuge in the friendly aisles of Wal-Mart. Eventually, some eccentric but kindly strangers 'adopt' Novalee and her infant daughter, helping them buck the odds and build a new life.

Anthology film containing three stories: In "Time Heals All Wounds," a pair of friends become frozen in time by an unanswered question about lost love. In the experimental silent picture "The Dinner," two couples get together for a seemingly normal dinner party that seems ripe with adulterous subtext. And in the plot-twist-laden "In a Sky With No Angels," a woman is unexpectedly contacted by a now on-the-run high school acquaintance claiming to hold the secrets of life, death and the existence of God.
