Single and desperate to mingle.

A gawky Englishman comes to Los Angeles to find the woman of his dreams. In his first starring series role, Stephen Merchant portrays Stuart, a web designer who relocated to LA from England in hopes of finding excitement, romance, and maybe even a soul mate. Working out of his home office, Stuart has an easy rapport with his attractive roommate Jessica (Christine Woods), though it is clear she's not romantically interested in him. Half as charming as he thinks he is - and twice as desperate - Stuart is obsessed with infiltrating the glamorous world of beautiful people. Seduced by the promise of the best restaurants and hottest nightclubs, Stuart's cheapness and pettiness often finds him just outside the door of LA's most desirable locales.
