Before there was Benlty, Jake, and Natalie, before there was a string of lovers, before there was a set of wild rides through out the city, there was simply Sebastian and the suburbs.

However, he quickly learns that even the best mapped plans can be derailed at the drop of a hat. As he enters the world of sex and dating, he quickly begins to learn the meaning of love, friendship, and what is most important in life; self-worth. "The only thing fairytales have taught us is the slipper doesn't always fit, the kiss won't always wake you, and the prince won't always fight for you. However, one thing that rings true, the apple will ALWAYS be poisoned."
