Seasons & Episodes

Julie is a single mother and a checkout girl with a flash but completely undedicated boyfriend. She's fast approaching her 30th birthday when she finds a tape of her 16-year-old self, dreaming up great plans for love and life. Julie feels like her life has somehow drifted away, so what will it take to put her back on track?
2. All in a Day's Work
Steve is highly strung and heavily sarcastic. His chirpy colleague, Dorothy, has been trying to help him get over a girlfriend who left him six months ago but he's still miserable. When he loses his job, Steve's bitterness becomes unbearable. To make matters worse, Dorothy insists on taking Steve shopping to find a new love.
