Spoilers ahead
A girl named Riley is born in Minnesota, and within her mind, five personifications of her core emotions come to life: Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger. These emotions reside in Headquarters, Riley’s conscious mind, where they influence her actions and memories through a control console. New memories are stored as colorful orbs, which are organized and sent into storage at the end of every day. The most significant or “core” memories are kept in a hub within Headquarters, powering five “islands” that each represent a different facet of Riley’s personality. While Joy strives to maintain Riley’s happiness, she struggles to comprehend Sadness’s role beyond merely causing tears.
