Construction worker Dan Mueller struggles with the disciplinary problems of his teenage daughter Daisy and the wrongful death lawsuit he is filing against Christine Hawthorne, the ex-girlfriend of his son Brian, who died by suicide. The stress causes him to assault a rude motorist on the job, which is witnessed by Rita, an actor at a community theater across the street. She invites him in to read for Lord Capulet in their upcoming production of Romeo and Juliet.

He begins soliciting advice from Daisy, a former actor who has lost her interest in theater, but things grow tense when his wife Sharon, a teacher and theater director at the local school, tries to build a garden over the site of Brian’s suicide in their yard and he erupts at Daisy for walking over it. He returns to the theater, where he witnesses Rita, playing Juliet, strike the actor playing Romeo when he claims she is too old for the part. After witnessing Romeo and Juliet’s suicide being acted out, he tells the cast about Brian’s death, and Daisy and Sharon witness Rita embracing him outside the theater.

While Dan commits more time to the production and is cast as Romeo, he is put on mandatory leave at his job and lies to his family about his whereabouts. Daisy follows him to the theater, discovers the truth, and quickly bonds with the cast. When they arrive home, Sharon, having learned from Dan’s coworker that he is on leave, accuses him of infidelity, forcing him to admit the truth. Moved by his talent, Sharon allows the cast to perform in the school’s gym, and they decide to make the play a one night event with Daisy cast as Mercutio.

As the performance approaches, Dan struggles to perform Romeo’s suicide and is encouraged by Daisy to think about Brian’s feelings. At the deposition with the Hawthornes, Dan’s testimony reveals that, on the night of Daisy’s last play, Brian and Christine attempted suicide together because of her family moving and him not being allowed to go with her. Dan realizes that he blames himself instead of Christine and admits that she is not at fault, tanking the lawsuit and leaving Sharon furious that he wasted their money and prevented her and Daisy from properly grieving.

At the show, Dan and Rita move Sharon to tears with the ending, and while Romeo dies, Dan sees Brian in the shadows offstage. The Muellers embrace after the performance, attend the cast party together, and return home.
