Episode 01

Adam, Cameron and Bruno come face to face with ex-wives and ex-girlfriends at a friend’s wedding.
Cameron’s ex-wife, Zoe, has flown over from New Zealand for the wedding, accompanied by an athletic mystery man. Despite two years of separation, Cameron is clearly ruffled by Zoe’s return, especially when he finds out that she is moving back to live in Melbourne.
Adam’s recently ex-girlfriend, Louisa, is also at the wedding. It’s never much fun being confronted by an ex who is further down the road to moving on, especially when you’re surrounded by loving couples at a wedding reception.
Cameron’s struggle with Zoe’s return drives him into the arms of another woman. The fact that she’s hot and has her own set of pom poms is just a bonus. As much as Zoe tries to appear fine with it, it’s still hard to handle seeing Cameron with another woman. But what can she do?
Adam and Zoe catch up on the walk home. Zoe reveals her ’friend’ from New Zealand, is just that and she brought him along to act as a buffer in front of Cameron. Both vulnerable and needing a mate, they end up in bed together, something neither of them had anticipated.
A contemplative Adam then wanders home, only to find Cameron waiting for him on his doorstep. The two mates head off down the street in search of a late night drink, with Adam feeling very awkward.
So we’ve got Adam, Cameron and Bruno—three best mates, all exploring the emotional terrain occupied by males in their late twenties as they grapple with the complexities of the female species amid receding memories of beery adolescence and the looming horror of matching quilt sets.

Episode 02

It's the day after the wedding and Adam wakes up feeling very shabby. He can't work out what's worse—his stinking hangover or the all-consuming guilt associated with sleeping with Zoe.
Full of introspection, he freaks when he feels he may have 'let himself go' in recent months. Bruno takes Adam along to his gym where he's introduced to Bret\, the personal trainer with a penchant for tired motivational clichés. Before long Bret has immersed himself in Adam's life.
Bruno and Cameron appear to be on a good thing when they head home with Carla and Gabi, but Bruno turns his back for a minute and Cameron seizes the moment—not to mention both women. Bruno is unimpressed. Cameron also comes face to face with a former one-night-stand and a savage tongue lashing leaves him contemplating whether or not he's an idiot.
Bret takes things too far resulting in Adam reconsidering their relationship. Bruno is given a second chance with Gabi and Carla, but, thanks to an unexpected encounter with his naked father earlier on, the pipe dream of a threesome remains just that.

As for Adam, does he know what he's getting himself into when he asks his female colleague, Taia, on a date?

Following the awards night the boys are nursing nasty hangovers. Cameron has the added bonus of also having to contend with a severely bruised ego. Adam heads off to Home Front with a very excited Bruno. Half an hour later he’s the proud owner of a flash new barbeque with all the bells and whistles. Adam then decides, with a little encouragement from Cameron and Bruno, to christen his new toy by having a barbeque. He jumps on the phone and finds himself having a series of conversations that range from the banal, to the just plain weird. Not only does Adam find himself trying to work out what happened to all his friends, but he also struggles with the whole ’office romance’ thing. His efforts to be discreet are met by disapproval from Taia who thinks he’s just acting like a tool.
Bruno is convinced to take the court in a game of mixed netball that sees him pitting his skills against the super-slick Dr. Sawyers. During a post game drink Bruno strikes up a new friendship with his former netball foe.

Much to Adam’s annoyance, Cameron and Zoe agree to accompany Taia to a product launch. Bruno and his netballing teammates are out celebrating their latest win when he puts a call in to Adam and Cameron, inviting them to join the celebrations.
