Jamie has always been kind of meek and mild, but an elegant older woman who visits the coffee shop he works at takes a shine to him. She tells him she needs help sorting out the bookstore she owns and asks if he would be willing to help - paid, of course. He accepts - the coffee shop never gives him enough hours, and honestly - a bookshop? He is studying English lit, there’s worse places to work, right?

Carl has had the week from hell, and when a weird old lady tries to talk to him at the bus stop on a Friday night, it is the last straw. Maybe, he is a little rude to her, but so what? She seems nuts anyway, fingers covered in silver rings in bizarre shapes and hair skewered with a wicked-looking pin. “You wouldn’t last one day as a lady, you mark my words” she says ominously.

Josh has been called up at the last minute to go on a big-deal sales trip - he’s nervous but excited. He has been paired up with Susie, the beautiful and formidable woman he has had a crush on since the second he walked into the office. She has a reputation for closing any deal she sets her sights on. Nothing about this trip seems destined to go to plan, though.

Dane is broke. He has a crappy job at a bar, an apartment which he shares with three housemates who never do the dishes, and no car. On his long walk home from work, he spots a flier in the window of an expensive looking house, which he thinks might be his ticket to a better life. “PA desperately required. Generous remuneration. Please deliver CV to front door.” Maybe his luck is about to change. He has never been a PA before, but how hard could it be?

Henry and Ruby used to be the perfect couple - everyone said they seemed to be made for each other, but lately Henry has started to feel that they are more like strangers who share a bed. A couple’s counselor suggests that ‘solving problems together’ might help with their communication, but neither of them buy it. “I don’t think doing a jigsaw together is going to fix what’s wrong with us” says Ruby, derisively. Henry stares gloomily at his shoes, the change of heart from Ruby which he has been hoping for seeming further away than ever before.

Dan’s behind on his rent, and no matter what he does, he can’t seem to get ahead. He’s supposed to be going on a date with his girlfriend Veronica tonight, but when he arrives home to find an eviction notice stuck to his front door, he cancels in favor of getting drunk and commiserating with his friend Bert. “I’m sure we can find something, dude,” says Bert, optimistically typing "make money fast" into the search bar. Dan wakes up with a pounding headache, and a message in his phone congratulating him on his new job - apparently he signed up to some sort of medical trial.

After a failed attempt at building a new life in the big city, followed by a crushing breakup, Zach is moving back in with his parents - which means moving back to the small town he thought he had escaped forever. He doesn’t have high hopes - nothing ever changes in this place - but maybe he can catch up with people he lost touch with when he left. His Mom is cagey about where his old best friend James went though, and Zach starts to worry he might end up all alone here, with no friends and no way out.

Carl is shocked to wake up in a new body, about to learn some lessons and gain a whole new perspective on his relationship with his girlfriend. Dane finds the job of his dreams, but discovers that to achieve the success he desperately wants there is a catch that wasn’t mentioned in the interview. Cherry is about to shake off her small-town upbringing and see what the big city has to offer, debuting a new name and a new look.

Jay and Sophie have been dating for a couple of years, but Jay’s friendship with Ellie has always been a source of friction. No matter how many times Jay insists that they’re just friends (despite his secret, years long crush), Sophie won’t budge.

Cherry is a girl with a secret. High school has been a nightmare, with the jocks picking on her - they all think she’s just a sissy boy. Little do they know the truth is much more interesting. Cherry has a bottle of pills stashed in her chest of drawers, and she has been hiding her changing body and growing breasts under baggy sweaters. But now she is finally free and moving to the big city to start fresh. She has been dreaming about this day for years - finally getting out and being the girl she has always known she ought to be.

Eric has finally reached the end of what he swears must have been the longest semester ever, and this weekend he has plans to celebrate. One of his friends is throwing a costume party, and the prize for most dramatic transformation? Turns out the guy hosting the party has an extra place on the ski trip he always takes over winter. Eric can definitely imagine himself on a snowboard, and he is determined to come up with the ultimate costume. He has always thought he might make a fairly attractive and convincing woman, but to pull this off he is going to need some help....
