Features:
- Semour "Sy" Parrish (Williams) runs the photo processing department at a large discount store.
- Sy is dedicated to his job, and takes great pride in his work.
- Sy's favorite customers are Nina and Will Yorkin (Connie Nielsen and Michael Vartan), an attractive and cheerful young couple with a nine-year-old boy, Jake (Dyland Smith).
- Sy dotes on the Yorkins and their son whenever they drop off film to be processed - something they've been doing quite often ever since Jake was born, and Nina and Will are indulgent of Sy's attentions, regarding his as a harmless eccentric. What the Yorkins don't know is Sy is a desperately lonely man with no real life of his own, and he's been obsessively making copies of their photos, for years, imagining himself to be "Uncle Sy," a member of the family.
- Sy's tenuous hold on reality begins to collapse when he develops a roll of film brought in by a new customer that suggests Will has been unfaithful to Nina; the notion that his ideal family may be falling apart is troubling enough for Sy, and when he loses his job, Sy reaches the breaking point.
