At the turn of the millenium, a group of misfits is hired to play the part of estranged family members in order to fill in the cracks of one broken family.

Pond is a middle-aged man who recruits various individuals to form a makeshift family to be with him at his estranged father's deathbed in an effort to make his dad proud one last time. And it was easy for him to do so, as it was not easy to discover someone's true identity at that time. Pond ropes in former girlfriend Lily to act as his wife and mother to his fake children, who are actually Keg, a playful teenage employee at a pager company, and Bung, a tomboyish girl who owns a video rental shop. Along the way, the four learn what it means to be a family while pretending to be one.
