Boys will be boys. Jess will be Jess.

A warm, high-energy ensemble sitcom built on the affection between a quirky woman and her male roommates, sustained across 146 episodes by genuine friendship and romantic tension.

Jessica Day is an offbeat and adorable girl in her late 20s who, after a bad breakup, moves in with three single guys. Goofy, positive, vulnerable and honest to a fault, Jess has faith in people, even when she shouldn't. Although she's dorky and awkward, she's comfortable in her own skin. More prone to friendships with women, she's not used to hanging with the boys—especially at home.
