Wilson Joel's (Philip Seymour Hoffman) wife Liza (Annie Morgan) has, for an unexplained reason, committed suicide. Wilson one night discovers a sealed letter from his wife, which he believes to be her suicide note. In his grief stricken state and with the added stress of finding the letter, which he can not bring himself to open and read, he forms an addiction with inhaling gasoline fumes (“huffing”).

In order to hide his addiction from a work colleague he informs her that the petrol smell in his house is from his hobby of flying remote controlled planes. To try and engage an ever distant Wilson, she asks her brother-in-law Denny (Jack Kehler), a radio control (RC) hobbyist, to visit Wilson. With the knowledge of an impending visit by Denny, Wilson heads down to the local RC hobbyist shop to buy himself a plane. He also stocks up on some RC fuel to fill his plane and feed his addiction. Out of this lie a very unusual friendship forms between Wilson and an energetic Denny.

His mother-in-law (Kathy Bates) tries her best to help Wilson, and deal with her own loss at the same time. She becomes increasingly anxious to know the contents of the letter.
