Amos Dibble lives a quiet life. An introvert with O.C.D., he lives a relatively reclusive existence. He enjoys his job (but not his co-workers), and relaxes by spending time on his stoop, reading, or playing chess over the phone with his "friend" Buddy. His life is pretty non-complicated. That is, until the day that he sees a strange woman sitting on his stoop. Enlisting the help of his friends Karl "Daphne" Diamond, Buddy, and his sister Josephine, he wrestles with the notion of telling her off or pursuing his newfound attraction. Nina Antonia is the total opposite of Amos, and her laid back style eventually melts some of his tensions about life, love, and his stoop.
