    "Oh Grow Up is an ensemble comedy about finding family where you expect it the least and when you need it the most.

    "Hunter is charming, good looking and a real Casanova. He owns a successful contracting business. Though he cares about his friends, he has never had to spend a day putting anyone else's feelings above his own. But all of that is about to change.

    "Norris is Hunter's roommate and friend from college. A struggling artist with a dry wit, Norris disdains and envies how Hunter dances through life.

    "Ford has recently moved in with them after separating from his wife Suzanne. Their "minor communications problems" turned out to be bigger than she thought when Ford announced in couples therapy that he was gay. The two still love each other and want to stay friends.

    "Suzanne turns out to be a welcome female support for Hunter once he meets... Chloe. Chloe is Hunter's eighteen year-old daughter who has arrived to meet her father for the first time.

    "Life will never be the same for this ensemble of friends after Chloe joins the group!"
