X's & O's is a hip romantic comedy that takes a humorously genuine look at post college relationships. A circle of friends in San Francisco finds out the hard way that it's not all hugs and kisses in the game of love and that everyone needs a strategy to score. Bookish biologist Simon (Clayne Crawford - 'A Walk to Remember') lusts after Jane (Sarah Wright - 'The House Bunny'), a blonde beauty that barely knows he exists. Against the advice of his womanizing best friend, Lorenzo (Warren Christie - TV's "October Road"), Simon decides to make Jane jealous by dating his lab partner, Trese (Judy Marte -'Raising Victor Vargas'). But every part of Simon's plan falls apart, trapping him between the pursuit of a hopeless dream and unexpected, real feelings for someone. Also starring Kel Mitchell ('Good Burger', "Kenan and Kel"), Lynn Chen ('Saving Face') and Jill Bennett ("Dante's Cove").

An Asian-American woman and her mother both find their private lives are becoming a family matter in this romantic comedy-drama. Wilhelmina Pang (Michelle Krusiec) is a surgeon living in Manhattan whose mother (Joan Chen) is eager for her to settle down with a nice man and get married. What Ma doesn't know is that Wilhelmina happens to be a lesbian -- or rather, Ma prefers not to acknowledge it, since she once walked in on Wilhelmina and her girlfriend several years before. As it happens, Wilhelmina is looking for someone special in her life, and thinks she may have found her in Vivian (Lynn Chen), a beautiful dancer, but a fear of commitment and a desire to keep her medical career on track is making their relationship problematic. As Wilhelmina tries to get her love life in order, her mother's shifts into crisis mode. Ma, a 48-year-old widow, has just discovered she's pregnant, and her staunchly traditional father (Li Zhiyu) will not allow her back into the home they share until she's
