Plot Synopsis

From the writer and directors of CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE, this one-hour dramedy series follows a unique ensemble of characters whose paths cross. As their life stories intertwine in curious ways, they discover that several of them share the same birthday -- and so much more than anyone would expect.

She receives support from her new boyfriend, Toby, as he helps her let loose and enjoy herself.

Randall has a lot more on his mind with the new life-changing addition of having his biological father in his life. Marriage and raising three 8-year-old children is beginning to take its toll on Rebecca and Jack as they start to feel distant from one another.
