But she soon finds out when she meets the othercontestants: Shirley, an unemployed yet jovial chef; Randy, a wannabemusician; and Todd, a successful lawyer who regrets his decision to take theexpected path of joining the family practice. At first, judgment, self-doubt, expectations, projections, and curiosity plagueeach contestant. Before long, one-on-one interac t ion becomes moresuccessful than group bonding. Eventually, apprehension, distrust, andoverly-competitive natures give way to merely maintaining defenses andboundary setting.

They begin to share personal aspectsof their respective professions, knowledge, and experiences and discover thatreal people reside just beneath the guarded exteriors. As their respect for oneanother grows, the lasting connections take form. The result of their time together is a humorous, yet poignant journey of self- discoverythat will last the contestants a lifetime.
