From the producers of "Lost" and "Alias" and the screenwriter of "City of Angels" and" For Love of the Game" comes a contemporary, heartwarming ensemble show about a group of supportive friends in various stages of romantic relationships and friendships in Los Angeles. There are the just-married Nic and Angelo, the seemingly happily-married Dave and Deena, and the newly-engaged Marjorie and Adam. But what about Brian? Everyone else in this close-knit group of friends has paired off; Brian is the last bachelor standing. At 34, he still holds out hope--despite his run of bad luck in matters of the heart--that one day he'll open the door and be blinded by love, but questions about his fate keep popping up more frequently. The most pressing one--the one that only Brian can answer--is: Could all of his problems stem from the fact that he's harboring a crush on the picture-perfect Marjorie, his best friend's girl? Adam, Brian's best friend since childhood, was about to break up with Marjorie but found himself proposing to her instead. He's a lawyer and Marjorie is a pediatric surgeon. Their busy lifestyles leave them little time to plan their upcoming wedding and, oddly enough, that seems to have given them more time to re-evaluate whether they're doing the right thing. Brian's fortysomething sister Nic and her boy-toy husband Angelo are trying hard to start a family, but something's not right. Nic's high-stress work as a record executive and Angelo's fledgling acting career have created some anxiety in the new marriage. Now they're torn between conceiving a child the old-fashioned way or using modern medicine to speed up the process. Dave, who runs a video game business with Brian called Zap Monkey, is married to stay-at-home mom Deena. They've been together for 13 years and have three little girls--and a lackluster sex life that prompts frustrated, unconventional Deena to suggest to the more-content Dave that they consider having an open marriage. Like all married people and their single friends, they can't wait for Brian to join their "club"--though they're not exactly sure why.
