As we reach
our early 20s and face the daunting challenges of real life, there are
those who choose to embark on a career path and those who'd rather goof
off with pals. And then, every so often, there's someone who sets out to
do both. Set in Chicago, The Loop is the story of Sam (Bret Harrison),
the youngest executive at the corporate headquarters of a major airline,
and the first of his friends to get a real job. He must find a way to
straddle his serious career and the serious social demands of his three
roommates: Sully (Eric Christian Olsen), is Sam's older and rowdier
brother, whose casual attempts to hold down a series of odd jobs are
eclipsed by his attempts to land women. Roommate Piper (Amanda Loncar)
is a medical student, Sam's college pal and -- unbeknownst to her -- his
longtime crush. And roommate Lizzy (Sarah Mason), who tends bar at their
local hangout, is oblivious to the fact that everything always goes her
way because she's so smoking hot. As Sam strives to meet the relentless
demands of his boss Russ (Philip Baker Hall), dodge the nonstop advances
of his colleague Meryl (Mimi Rogers), manage his overqualified and
somewhat bitter secretary Darcy (Joy Osmanski), and turn his
best-friendship with Piper into romance, he is, by turns, ambitious,
exhausted and inspired. Moreover, he is a hero for everyone who has ever
tried to work hard and play hard at the same time.
