Everyone experiences a phase in life where they feel unappealing, whether it’s due to a lack of fashion sense, an unsuitable career, or even a poor hairstyle choice. While most people eventually overcome this phase, some require a bit more assistance. Enter Danny Burton. At 29, Danny is self-assured, good-looking, and unaffected by others’ opinions, though he might be experiencing his own form of delayed maturity. He decides to lend a hand to his new roommate, Justin Kearney, who owns a struggling bar and tends to overanalyze things, along with Justin’s quirky friends—Shelly, Burski, and Brett. Danny introduces them to his older sister Leslie, who is recently divorced and quickly connects with the group, as she too feels somewhat stuck in her life. The group spends much of their time at Justin’s bar, working through each other’s issues over drinks. Despite their constant teasing, they are always there to support one another.
Plot Summary:
Danny Burton is a carefree single man in his early 30s, observing as most of his friends settle into serious relationships. When his last single friend, Shannon, moves out to get married, Danny seeks a new roommate. He finds a potential match in Justin, who owns the Black Eyes Bar in Detroit, often humorously mispronounced as “Black Guys Bar.” Justin and his friends—nerdy Burski, eccentric Shelly, and Brett, who has recently come out as gay—each possess traits that make them seem “undateable.” Although Danny is successful in attracting women, he struggles to commit to any long-term relationship. His attractive sister Leslie shares similar concerns about being “undateable,” as she carries the “baggage” of being a divorced woman in her mid-30s.
