- Arnold Wiggins is a mildly retarded man who works at a movie theater. He is hyperactive and talks constantly. He's often abused by coworkers and is afraid to fight back.
- Norman Bulansky is a middle-aged retarded man who works at a doughnut shop. His job has caused him to become overweight. He has a girlfriend, a woman from another group home.
- Lucian P. Smith is a large, African-American man who is profoundly retarded. He checks out armloads of books from the library, despite the fact he cannot read. He is in danger of losing his disability funds, when the state senate accuses him of faking his condition.
- Barry Klemper is a young, schizophrenic man who pretends to be a golf pro. When his abusive father visits him for the first time in years, it proves to be harmful to his mental condition.
- Jack is the social worker for the four men. He's found that he's becoming burned out and is thinking about a new line of work.
