The film revolves around the existential investigation of Albert Markovski (Jason Schwartzman), who hires detectives Vivian and Bernard Jaffe (Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman) to help him unravel the meaning behind coincidence and his current life struggles.

Albert is an environmental activist who has been working for a long time to save a marshland from a development scheme spearheaded by Brad Stand (Jude Law), the young and hyper-successful executive of Huckabees, a Wal-Mart-like chain store.

Throughout the investigation, Vivian and Bernard offer their clients a unique perspective on life, encouraging them to question everything they have ever believed to be true. They employ unusual techniques such as playing tricks on their clients in public places and conducting wild group therapy sessions to help them get in touch with their deeper selves.

As the investigation begins to wrap up, Albert gains a new perspective on his life and relationships. He learns that it's okay to let go of certainty and embrace the chaos of life. Meanwhile, Brad realizes the error of his ways, apologizes for his actions, and joins Albert's cause to save the marshland.
