In New York City's East Village, plans are set in motion to demolish several blocks to make way for Lacey Plaza, a high-rise office and sports complex. Residents of a specific four-story apartment building are resistant to leave, despite the lucrative offers from the property developers.

Elderly couple Frank and Faye Riley, who have spent over 50 years in their apartment, refuse to relocate. Along with other tenants like the artist Mason Baylor and pregnant Marisa Esteval, they stand against the eviction plans initiated by the developer, Mr. Lacey.

In an attempt to pressure the tenants into leaving, Lacey sends his thugs to vandalize the diner run by Frank and Faye, leading to destruction in the building. The violent actions escalate tensions between the residents and the developer's team.

Frank Riley reaches out to the police after the thugs vandalize their property, but they advise against pressing charges, suggesting it would provoke further harassment from the vandals. This leaves Frank feeling helpless and concerned for his wife Faye, who has mild dementia.

One evening, Faye, in her delusional state, leads the tenants to the roof where she introduces them to two small, flying saucer-like objects she names 'The Fix-Its.' These miraculous beings are responsible for repairing the damage caused by the thugs, bringing hope back to the residents.

The Fix-Its start interacting with the tenants, plugging into electrical outlets and playfully making mischief around the building. Frank and the others begin treating the Fix-Its as if they were small children, endearing themselves to these peculiar visitors.

Carlos, one of Lacey's henchmen, attempts to confront the Fix-Its. In a surprising turn, the playful beings retaliate by knocking him out with a frying pan when he invades their space, displaying their protective instincts towards the tenants.

After a series of amusing interactions, the female Fix-It appears to be pregnant, drawing attention and curiosity from the residents. When she gives 'birth' to several smaller Fix-Its, Mason excitedly theorizes about machines being able to reproduce themselves.

As the situation escalates, Mr. Lacey demands that the residents vacate the premises within three days. Meanwhile, the diner experiences unexpected success as Faye, assisted by the Fix-Its, continues to serve her loyal customers in defiance of Lacey's threats.

Carlos, enraged by the defiance of the tenants, resorts to sabotage, damaging essential utilities in the building. In the chaos, a fight breaks out, but Faye mistakes the situation for a reunion with her deceased son, highlighting her deepening dementia.

As the tension peaks, Carlos rushes to save Faye from the imminent explosion planned by Lacey's men. In a race against time, he tries to coax her out of the apartment while battling his own conflicted feelings about her safety.

Despite Carlos's efforts, the apartment building is destroyed in a fierce explosion, leaving Harry as the only resident left standing amid the rubble. This loss weighs heavily on the tenants who fought so hard to preserve their home and community.

Night falls over the ruins, and unexpectedly, the Fix-Its return along with their friends. They work tirelessly through the night to rebuild the apartment building, showcasing their miraculous abilities and devotion to the tenants.

The next morning, the residents wake up to find their beloved apartment restored, rejuvenated by the Fix-Its. As Lacey assesses the situation, he realizes he will have to alter his plans for Lacey Plaza to accommodate the resilient spirit of the community.
