Mikey McCoy finds himself wrapped into a world he thought he had a handle on. A girlfriend that is on and off again and always wanting the promise of marriage. A best friend he is in love with, but she is dedicated herself to a man that finds any excuse to wander from their relationship as often as possible. A set of side girlfriends that step in and out of his life as he becomes single, but have no intention of making anything of his love for them. A younger friend that he has waited for, but she is growing up with the wrong friends and she still confesses her love to him. A job he worked towards his whole life that is his family's legacy, but the being in the back of the ambulance isn't what his life has in store for him.
He finds trouble and seems to find a way out of it, most of the time. He engages with issues of growing out of the mentality of a Midwestern town and tries to live a life he wants. He finds himself drawn back into it over and over with the drowning desire to be more. His hopes aren't crushed by any of this. He finds solace in people, friends, a part-time girlfriend, a best friend that he wants to be more, a small rotating group of friends, work colleagues that is more family than he cares to admit, and the want to be more than plain white trash.
Between lack of proper protection when he should use it, pregnancy scares, a deadbeat brother, a mom that is a semi-absent overachiever, a dad wrapped in his career to the point of divorce years ago, and the changing work world in EMS, he finds a path. Not the path he wanted or chose, but a path that he can live with. One he can be happy with. This all comes at a cost. Sometimes that cost is more than he can afford. Sometimes he loses more than he gains. This is just the beginning of his life adventure.
