As they chase their dreams they’re learning that life is like performing on stage before you’ve memorized your part. They live in separate furnished rooms and share a bathroom and kitchen in a semi-rundown residential hotel. Arthur is a law student who despises the legal profession. So what if the professors want to kick him out for cutting classes, he has a plan to blow up the law school. Jeff is in a department store’s training program that should lead to management, but his superiors have it in for him. Mavis dreams of love but failed romances threaten to erase the words of 'Some Day My Prince Will Come' replacing them with the words of 'Here Lies Love'. Ralph wants to be a professional musician but has bad chops and rarely blows a decent note on his trumpet. Boyd hopes to be the next Cole Porter or Irving Berlin as he works to create a musical that will make it to Broadway, but that’s like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. And never-get-involved-if-you-can-help-it Wilma is a social worker who avoids getting entangled in other people’s problems. All six will have to decide if they are who they think they are or if they’re only who they imagine themselves to be.
