Our group of friends have moved on a year and are all now working in their first jobs. They are joined by Mariana, a creative writer from Venezuela and Jin, a biology major from Hong Kong. We follow the group through a year as their lives and situations change against the backdrop of life in Boston. Josh finds romance at last, but what about Jen? And will Shawna get her promotion at the ad agency? They all work hard, have fun and get along well … most of the time!
