==Premise==
There are three women in the Langley household. Vivien ([[Karen Young (actress)|Karen Young]]), the mother, is caught between a fierce independence and an almost [[agoraphobic]] attachment to home. Seductive and confident Mel ([[Portia Reiners]]) is a 19 year-old mirror of her mother. Maura ([[Mamie Gummer]]), 22 year-old, is [[wikt:alienated|alienated]] afraid and unable to [[wikt:Special:Search/pinpoint|pinpoint]] her place in the world. They live together in a seemingly close household, yet each is very much alone. The family's [[status quo]] explodes when Jeff ([[Jonathan Groff]]) walks into their comfortable yet [[dysfunctional]] world. Bright, handsome, ambitious and sure of his future at the age of 22, he's also [[socially awkward]] and a [[Human sexual activity|sexual]] [[novice]] who's been infatuated with Mel since high school. When they begin working together at the same restaurant, he jumps at the opportunity to finally start a [[romance (love)|romance]] with the free-spirited girl. But Mel has other ideas about their time together.
