Tom Bellow (Michael Seater) and Jessie Hill (Stacey Farber) are college students and best friends that have grown up next door to each other, in very different households. Jessie throws herself into everything she takes on, be it working, shopping, or just hanging out. She lacks that filter in social conversation and doesn’t fully appreciate authority, especially if she feels something just isn’t right. Jessie’s father, Phil (Al Goulem), works in I.T., but thinks of himself as a “modern day plumber.” He’s the self-proclaimed “High Sheriff of Recycle Town” and has a green room next to the garage but it’s really where he goes to sneak beef jerky. His wife, Tara (Angela Asher), is a proud liberal but knows when it’s best to pull back a little (which is why she allows the beef jerky secret to continue). Tara works at a non-profit called NGO, a place that doesn’t accomplish a lot, but she’s happy to think she’s changing the world.
