When Kyle finds himself heartbroken and rapidly approaching thirty with little to show for it, he knows there's only one thing a man can do: have a complete nervous breakdown.

Kyle's roommate Cooper could be the key to his recovery, but she's facing a crisis of her own."

Synopsis:
Three college buddies struggle to get a grasp on life after graduation. the days of blowing off mid-terms and waking up at noon are a thing of the past, and it turns out adult life is full of bigger problems than getting blown off by sorority girls. James, Scott and Russell fight and flounder in a world where making rent and still keeping one's sanity is a hell of a lot tougher than they ever thought it would be. When James meets a girl, Scott gets a promotion and Russell sinks deeper into an alcoholic stupor, the three find themselves forced to decide if the time has finally come for them to grow up
