Bent - Wednesdays 9:00PM and 9:30PM ET/PT on NBC
Premieres Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 9:00-9:30, 9:30-10:00PM ET/PT

Bent is a romantic comedy about a womanizing, surfer dude contractor and his beautiful, no-nonsense, type-A client, who work together to remodel each other's lives as they renovate her Venice, California home.

On the surface, Alex (Amanda Peet, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) and Pete (David Walton, Perfect Couples) could not be more different. The recently divorced Alex is a hard-working, high-strung lawyer who is raising her 10-year-old daughter, Charlie (Joey King, Ramona and Beezus), as a single mom following her husband's incarceration for insider trading.

Unwilling to let anything get in her way, she downsizes into a smaller house and hires the charismatic Pete, a free-spirited lothario and recovering gambling addict who desperately needs this gig with Alex to jumpstart his life - and prove that he is no longer irresponsible. Alex quickly realizes that she has met her match in Pete, who along with his motley construction crew, will not only tear apart her kitchen, but transform her worldview in the process.

Complicating the dynamic is Ben (Matt Letscher, Eli Stone), a successful doctor who Alex is dating. While not as smooth as Pete, he continually finds himself in a tug-of-war for not only the affections of Alex, but for her daughter Charlie.

Pete's home includes his narcissistic, roommate father, Walt (Jeffrey Tambor, Arrested Development), a serially unemployed actor who is still yearning for his big break. Meanwhile, Alex's family life incldues her wild younger sister, Screwsie (Margo Harshman, Sorority Row), who, unfortunately for Alex, seems to be cut from the same reckless cloth as Pete.
