Plot: A group of friends living in suburban Oregon come into contact with a sensual free spirit of Chloe, who changes their outlook on life in the most unexpected of ways. As college professor and writer Harry sits quietly in the coffee shop of his tight-knit Oregon community, the local residents all around him all become swept up in the magical mischief of love. Coffee shop owner Bradley has a bad habit of looking for love in all the wrong places, and his relationship with wife Kathryn is a prime example of that penchant. Meanwhile, frazzled real estate agent Diana becomes ensnared in a taboo affair with a married man David, lovely newcomer Chloe attempts the formidable task of romancing troubled soul Oscar, and Harry's own wife, Esther, affectionately tries to get through to her husband as he wrestles with the pain of losing a loved one.
Alternative Plot: The love lives of several people of various ages intersect when a young woman named Chloe (Alexa Davalos) comes to town. Immediately, barista Oscar (Toby Hemingway) is enamored with her and thrilled when his boss, Bradley (Greg Kinnear), hires her. Then Bradley's wife, Kathryn (Selma Blair), leaves him for someone else. Afterward Bradley marries realtor Diana (Radha Mitchell), who helps the first couple move in together. Harry (Morgan Freeman) watches it all quietly and muses on love and loss.
