What happens when your life doesn't go according to plan?
Ryden Malby had a plan. Step One: do well in high school, achieving Step Two: a kick-butt college scholarship. Step Three: limit her beer intake in order to keep said scholarship – which wasn't always easy. Now that she's finally graduated, it's time for Step Four: moving to LA to land her dream job at the city's best publishing house. So far, Ryden's three-for-three, but she's about to stumble on Step Four...
When Jessica Bard, Ryden's college nemesis – the prettiest, smartest, most ambitious girl at school – steals her perfect job, Ryden's forced to move back to her childhood home in the Valley. Stuck with her eccentric family – a karate-obsessed dad, a politically incorrect grandma, a spoiled-brat little brother – and a growing stack of rejected job applications, Ryden starts to feel like she's going nowhere. The only upside is spending time with her best friend Adam – and running into her hot next-door neighbour David. But if Ryden's going to survive life as a post-grad, it may be time to come up with a new plan...
