The official ABC synopsis reads:
"They say friendship isn't one big thing, it's a million little things; and that's true for a group of friends from Boston who bonded under unexpected circumstances. Some have achieved success, others are struggling in their careers and relationships, but all of them feel stuck in life. After one of them dies unexpectedly, it's just the wake-up call the others need to finally start living. Along the way they discover that friends may be the one thing to save them from themselves."
While the network has been keeping many of the major plot details quiet, we do know a little bit more about what's ahead. The show centres on eight friends — four men and four women. The guys all meet while stuck in an lift, and their shared love of hockey leads to lifelong friendship. However, when one of them dies by suicide, the rest are left to reexamine their own lives and learn how to truly lean on each other.
