A free-spirited young woman named Edith Alice "Breezy" Breezerman, hitchhiking through life, finds herself in Los Angeles looking for a fresh start. After a narrow escape from a lecherous driver, she stumbles upon the secluded home of Frank Harmon, a middle-aged, divorced real estate agent. Initially annoyed by her presence, Frank soon comes to appreciate Breezy's youthful exuberance and carefree outlook, providing a stark contrast to his own jaded view of the world.

Through a series of encounters, Breezy and Frank develop an unlikely friendship, bridging the considerable gap in their ages and life experiences. As they spend more time together, Breezy's warmth begins to melt Frank's cynical exterior, while Frank provides Breezy with the stability she desperately lacks. Their bond grows deeper, causing them to rethink their preconceived notions about relationships and love.
