Storyline

Freezing in the icy Chicago winter, the boys consider the advantages of moving to Hawaii, all except Andy, who prefers the cold. When the weather flips, so do their moods, mainly to flirting. Mike, filling in for Brendan's 'sick' staff, proves himself a great barman, although his new dog and flirting-aid, Bingo, is a messy bother. While Kenny takes up with a woman met at the laundromat, and Stephanie cozies up to a hacky sack player, Bobby invites PJ to a park picnic. Forgetting ice to cool their beer, PJ insists on stealing some from a nearby open house; thus, they find and fall in love with a townhouse and the idea of moving in together. When the weather sours again, so do the summer flings, but will the true lovers' cohabitation plan survive?
