Maestro's suave, career-minded older brother Jared must break the news of the ""arrangement"" to his carefree, aspiring musician roommate Sean. Needless to say, Sean is less than thrilled with the news that a six-year-old child is his new roommate and questions the impact Maestro's presence might have on his sex life. But it's not long before Sean realizes Maestro's ""babe magnet"" potential, and he quickly learns to use his adorable pint-sized roomie's charm and wit to his advantage.
In & Out
When a gorgeous young woman moves into the guys' apartment building, Sean is instantly smitten and offers a neighborly hand in getting her settled. The two begin spending time together, leading Sean to believe that he's ""so in there."" But Kara doesn't like Sean because he's ""in,"" but rather because he's ""out""-- of the closet, that is. She's mistaken Sean and Jared for a gay couple raising a child.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Maestro Harris
When Maestro lands the lead role of Peter Pumpkin in his school's annual ""parents please participate"" Halloween pageant, he assumes that his big brother Jared will play Papa Pumpkin to his Peter.
