Plot
About a Girl centers around Amy Ryan, a college student who moves into a house off-campus when her dorm room turns out to be unacceptable. However, her new roommates are four guys. Things are not always smooth as she tries to either adjust to or change their habits and wrestles with her unrequited attraction to one of them.
Characters
The roommates
- Amy Ryan (Chiara Zanni) – A sophomore girl in college that believed would be not as difficult, "a walk in the park."[2] After the college dorms are a dud, she had to move in with four guys (Jason, Dude, McRitchie, and Benny), rather than living in the college dorm rooms.
- Jason (Jesse Hutch) – One of the roommates that Amy lives with and who Amy has a crush on. The problem is he has a commitment issue in relationships.[2]
