Ben Donovan is a self-absorbed manager of a second-rate sports arena in San Diego who begins to reassess his life on his 40th birthday. Working alongside him is his boss and arena owner, Crystal—attractive, powerful, and highly unpredictable; Alice—the cute, tomboyish marketing director and Ben's friend with benefits; Alonzo—a former basketball player, handsome and unbelievably cheerful; Ben's assistant, Heather—pretty, sweet, but terrifying because she once set a boyfriend on fire; Crystal's son, Roman—sweet-faced, clueless, and Ben's newest employee; and a hapless operations crew that Ben collectively refers to as the "Steves."
