Five twenty something New Yorkers juggle love, life and friendship. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer whose life revolves around his friends
Annie, whose self-image is keeping her from commitment
Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles is testing their relationship
and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who has caught Sam's eye.
After a particularly bad day he meets a young boy lost on the subway, and this chance meeting is the start of an unusual but rewarding friendship which forces Sam to readdress his life.
