The life of a normal guy in the suburbs of America is not usually one audiences want to hear about. However, in this case middle-aged advertiser Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) is about to go through some rather interesting changes. As his marriage with his status-seeking real-estate agent wife Carolyn (Annette Bening) slowly falls apart, he also has to contend with the knowledge that she truly hates his guts, his teenage daughter Jane thinks he's a loser, and his boss is keen to fire him.
