Plot: An epic mosaic of several interrelated characters in search of happiness, forgiveness, and meaning in the San Fernando Valley.

In the opening prologue, a narrator goes over three events of incredible coincidence:

1) Sir Edmund William Godfrey, a resident of Greenberry Hill, London, was killed by three vagrants looking to rob his pharmacy. The surnames of these men were Green, Berry, and Hill.

2) Blackjack dealer Delmer Darion went scuba diving in a lake and was accidentally picked up by a firefighting plane in order to put out a nearby forest fire. Darion died of a heart attack inside the plane. The plane's pilot, Craig Hansen, had gotten into a fight with Darion two days prior at a casino in Reno. The guilt and measure of coincidence eventually prompted him to commit suicide.

3) 17-year-old Sydney Barringer attempted suicide by jumping off the roof of his Los Angeles apartment building. Meanwhile, his parents were arguing inside their apartment. His mother threatened his father with a shotgun and accidentally fired at the window just as Sydney passed. There was a safety net that would have saved Sydney's life had he not been killed by the bullet. His parents hadn't known the gun was loaded; Sydney had loaded it himself a few days earlier, hoping one of them would kill the other. Sydney's mother was arrested for murder, and Sydney himself noted as an accomplice in his own death.
