The Mechanicals is a modern-day love comedy tracking the journey of a young couple, Jackie and Norman, who are brought together by an unplanned pregnancy, the imperative of family allowing them to survive their wild and unsettled twenties and their functionally alternative thirties, ultimately leading them to a deeper understanding of what they have come to mean to each other. The event that catalyzes this outcome is the death of Guy Roche, the world champion MMA fighter Norman becomes friends with through his work as a feature writer for a men's magazine, Voyeur. Through helping Guy's family decide what to do with his estate, Norman and Jackie become closer to Guy's widow, Natasha, a former adult film star who models for them her intuitive understanding about how to exist in the messiness of the universe.
