The story about three Los Angeles friends begins; Campbell, the manager of a band whose career ends when the bandmembers end up in either prison or rehab. Nell, an ad exec who doesn't want to commit to her job. And Henry, a writer who can't seem to further himself past a job at an adult internet site.

The story begins with Campbell finding it difficult to take part as best man at his brother Ben's wedding since he may have feelings for bride-to-be Jane, who Campbell dated at one point in the past. Nell asks Henry to move in with her, a rash decision she may soon regret. Henry finds himself attracted to his attractive-but-married boss Charlotte.

Campbell prepares for the production of his first children's video but finds that he is alone in the business despite promises from his friends that they would be involved. Henry wants to advance his relationship with Charlotte but finds it difficult when her husband returns home from a business trip. Nell ends up spending time with her father's friend, Michael, after her father cancels his plans to come to L.A. and see her. Ben begins hiring models for a new catalogue that he hopes will modernize the Chasin's company and impress his father.
