LOVE MONKEY, based on the best-selling book by Kyle Smith, revolves around Tom Farrell (Tom Cavanagh), a 30-something up and coming single record executive who is navigating the tumultuous and highly amusing waters of work and dating in New York City. Tom's got it all until he gets fired from his job and is dumped by his girlfriend, all in the same day. Fortunately, Tom's friends help him keep his life in full swing: Mike (Jason Priestley), his buddy who happens to be married to Tom’s pregnant sister, Karen (Katherine LaNasa); Shooter (Larenz Tate), his street-wise friend with money; Jake (Christopher Wiehl), a handsome former baseball player turned sportscaster; and Bran (Judy Greer), his platonic girlfriend who always tells it to him straight. With their help and support, Tom finds a new record company to call home and a new woman, Julia Hixon (Ivana Milicevic), to fixate on. It's a brand new Tom--which is to say, it's the same old Tom.
