CAST: 4 Males / 4 Females- Mixed Ethnicity
STORYLINE: A young, married couple learn that they are going to be parents. Unfortunately, they are both smokers. When Mike, the young father decides to man up and do the right thing by quitting for the baby's sake, Tina, the young mother is afraid that she will be unable to quit, sending the wrong message... One that falsely suggests that she doesn't love her baby.
TINA- Eighteen, she is fun and responsible. Her decision to marry young is rooted in the belief that Mike is a good man who will be committed to her through all adversity. She wants to be an example to her peers.
MIKE- Eighteen, Tina is his first love. Like his father, who married his mother at a young age, Mike believes that you must man-up and take chances in life. There is no debating right and wrong. Quite simply, if you do what's right, you'll never be wrong.
RENEE- Eighteen, close friend to Tina and Mike. She's a neighborhood girl who thinks she's grown. You know... The one who's into fashions, hair styles and makeup before everyone else. She doesn't agree with Mike and Tina on getting married young , but, sometimes friends disagree. You stick together no matter what.
TONY- Eighteen, Mike's best friend. He considers himself a ladies man. He is loyal and quick with the tongue... a little rough around the edges but, he'll be there for you.
STACY- Seventeen, the youngest female in the group. She doesn't have the confidence of the others but she is both kind and considerate. She needs a vote of confidence every now and then.
STEPHANIE- Eighteen, she is the girlfriend you don't want to cross. Raised in a house full of boys, she's a little tougher than most. Raise a hand, draw back a nub, that's her philosophy, and, she's got the mouth to back it up.
PAUL- Eighteen, he's the guy you don't want to take to the party. Not because you don't like him, but, he never has any fun... too busy analyzing the lights, critiquing the music or complaining about how hot it is inside the party. He is the guy you want to pray or study with.
RAMONE- Eighteen, they say, opposites attract. Well, Ramone and Mike are definitely opposites. Ramone is all mouth. Raised in a house full of women... he can't stop runnin' his mouth. He and Steph will clash often. However, one wonders what all of the fuss is about. Smells like love.
