A high-energy sitcom built on physical comedy and romantic misunderstanding, where three roommates navigate attraction and deception in a warm, consequence-free world.

When two single girls, Janet and Chrissy, need a roommate to share their Santa Monica apartment, they decide to offer a room to Jack, a man they find passed out in the bathtub after the going-away party for their last roommate. However, hijinks ensure when Jack must pretend to be gay in order to throw off the scent of the trio's conservative landlady.
