It follows the story of Henry, a womanizing marine veterinarian who falls for an art teacher named Lucy. When he discovers she has anterograde amnesia and forgets him a day later, he resolves to win her over again each new day. The fictitious memory impairment suffered by Barrymore's character, "Goldfield's Syndrome", is similar to short-term memory loss and anterograde amnesia. His closest friends are Ula, a marijuana -smoking Islander ; his assistant Alexa, whose sexuality and gender is unclear; Willy, his pet African penguin and Jocko, a walrus. He sees Lucy Whitmore make architectural art with her waffles. Henry assumes she is a local, which prevents him from introducing himself, but the next day he comes back and has breakfast with her.
