This coming-of-age tale follows eight young adults as they search for love and happiness in Austin, Texas.

Austin, Texas is a new home for this group of strangers. This group of naive young folks is all here in Austin to break out of their shells. As a group, they plan to work together to achieve both personal and professional success and help each other and themselves on the way.
