DIANE - Sweet, honest, committed - that's what Diane has been all her life. Recently though, she's begun feeling that those traits aren't serving her very well. Disappointed by romance, work, and other pursuits, Diane considers changing her ways, becoming stronger and more aggressive. But certain consequences put Diane at odds with her faith and beliefs, and she's forced to make some tough decisions. How will she handle it all?

JONATHAN - Jonathan's done with his tenure as the ultimate ladies man, ready to trade in his player card for a marriage license. He thinks that once Diane jumps the broom with him, she'll be forced to keep him around, even after getting a peek into his closet. Trouble is, his previous girlfriend is bent on poking a hole in his love life. Can he convince Diane to join him in matrimony before his past tracks him down?

EDDIE - Eddie is the essence of cool - an all-around nice kid who spins like no other deejay in Southern California. Notoriously single, his close friends wonder what kind of secrets he must be hiding. Truth is, he has nothing to hide. In fact, he'd like nothing more than tell the person he's been madly in love with for years just how he feels. If only he knew how.

Cheryl - Cheryl isn't someone folks are usually happy to see. She doesn't mind - she's used to doing things alone. Except for good loving, of course. But it would be front-page news if she and her on-again, off-again ex-fiance Calvin ever made it down the aisle. If experience proved her right, she realized that her editor status could encourage people to do things they might not otherwise do...or could punish anyone who didn?t respond appropriately.

DANNY - After committing 23 years to the City of Buena Beach, Danny can almost taste early retirement. With the City's generous benefits plan, he's looking forward to taking long vacations with his beloved wife, Annette, and spending more time with his 3 teenage daughters. But someone else thinks Danny's final day should be even sooner than even he anticipates, and he finds himself face to face with a secret he's managed to keep hidden for years. And even worse, his daughter Jennifer seems to be getting serious with her latest boyfriend. What's an overbearing, slightly neurotic dad to do?
