Alice Pieszecki, a modern magazine writer who wasn't lucky with her last relationships;

Tim and Jenny, a couple who start to live together in Los Angeles; Jenny is a recent graduated writer, who comes to L.A. to start writing her first novel and to live with her boyfriend; and Tim, a cute coach's assistant who works with the girls from the swim team at UCLA.

Kit Porter is Bette's half sister and fights against alcoholism, that already brought her many problems.

When Marina kisses Jenny in a (mainly lesbian) party promoted by Better Porter and Tina Kennard, it's only the beginning of many things Jenny will start to experiment..
