This is a story about two guys who grew up together; Denny Brown and Blashe Richter. Blashe is hard to take for most people as he is usually inappropriate, awkward and a little over the top. Denny and his sister Pam are not only the two who "get" Blashe, but they tolerate his tendencies because he has been around since they were just kids. Blashe is a single child to single father Simon Richter. Simon is a bit over protective and elaborate so it doesn't take long to see that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Denny's girlfriend Jill doesn't get it. She feels it's time to cut ties with Blashe and has had just about enough of his antics. Sal is a close friend of Denny's and he is pretty indifferent about Blashe. For the most part, whichever side he is in the mood to fall; he falls.
