Leslie, meanwhile, wants to succeed as an architect before she settles down and is having doubts about her relationship, and Wendy, a girl from a wealthy family who is still a virgin, wants to branch out from her family and is in love with Billy, the kind of guy her family would never approve of. The group struggles to sort out their romantic entanglements and future careers as they forge ahead through drug addiction, searching for the meaning of life, and dysfunctional families.
