Sam (played by Sean Penn), who works at Starbucks, is an adult but has the intellectual level of a 7-year-old. By chance, he takes in a homeless woman. After she helps Sam give birth to a daughter, she disappears without a trace. He names his daughter Lucy (played by Dakota Fanning) after his favorite Beatles song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." He adores his child. Under Sam's careful nurturing, Lucy grows up and discovers that her father cannot understand slightly more complex stories. She refuses to grow up, wishing to remain like her dad. Their life together is very happy.
The local education officials discover this unique family and believe that Sam is incapable of caring for Lucy, so they take her away.
Heartbroken, Sam is determined to regain custody of Lucy, so he mistakenly seeks out the best lawyer in the area...
