But her life will change for the better when she meets Charlie, a much older co-worker and partner in the firm who at first gives her hard time, but eventually starts to win her over....

Along for the ride is Richard Simpson, Brian's college roomate and best-friend. Richard is 26 and is persuing or, at least attempting to persue a career in Advertising, but finds it hard to deal with the corporate sharks that are circling at the new firm he was hired to temp at, all he wants is a chance to prove himself but because none of the over-egotistical executives at the firm will even listen to him his life is going to be a lot harder than he thought; espeically when some of his co-workers learn that he is gay and he begins to get harrassarred...

Nancy will attempt to do the best she can to reveal this cover-up and will hope against hope that she is able to survive... the only person that provides Nancy any support in the company is Chelsea, a much older employee at the company who has known about this cover-up for ages but who isn't really crediable to unveal it because of a past discretion with a higher-up in the company... as Nancy and Chelesea work together a friendship emerges...
