Synopsis

At the offices of a Boston alternative newspaper, the staff members enjoy a positive and open-minded work environment. Music critic Max uses his influence to score dates, while news reporter Harry is dating the lovely Abbie, the publication’s lead photographer. However, it seems as though their relatively carefree days are numbered when the owner of a major publishing company buys the paper, leading to more money, but even more changes.
