The show starred Barry Watson as Brian Davis, a thirty-something guy who struggles with the idea of settling down and finding love amid his group of married and engaged friends. The show focused on the ups and downs of Brian's love life as he searched for the one.

He is painfully aware of his single status, especially since his best friend, Adam Hillman (Matthew Davis), is recently engaged to Marjorie Seaver (Sarah Lancaster), who is also Brian's ex-girlfriend.
