Two adult brothers are forced into becoming roommates by their landlord parents, in order to keep the youngest out of prison.

THOMAS has been a people pleaser for as long as he can remember. Perhaps, why we find him well on his way to becoming a doctor. His last years of residency have been relatively uneventful, minus, well… the hard work of being a doctor, saving lives, you get it. But as promising as Thomas’s life seems, he hasn’t been able to find that special someone to share it with. Until now. He’s found himself smitten by his neighbor-lawyer-friend AVA, who has no real time or desire for a relationship other than the occasional confidential hookup. Thomas pretends to be ok with that, but he really likes her and can’t help but to wonder if this could be his real life Huxtable story-in-the-making.

His true admiration for Ava isn’t the only secret Thomas has been keeping. He has a slightly younger adopted brother that he never talks about – not even with his best of friends RAUL and GINA, who live right upstairs. This younger brother, who happens to have a very similar name to his, TOMMY, also happens to be White. Thomas got over the name similarity long ago, and doesn’t care what shade of skin his brother is – he does love him – but Tommy can’t seem to keep himself out of trouble. And that’s where these two brothers find themselves at odds. Hopefully they find peace as roommates before killing each other.
