Synopsis
Bold, sassy and realistic, four upwardly mobile and very different African-American women share adventures, advice and an exclusive brownstone in New York City as they explore life and Living Single.
Khadijah James (Queen Latifah) has it all - a great job running her own trendy magazine and part ownership of a fancy brownstone.
Sharing the ownership of their home is her endearingly naive cousin Synclaire (Kim Coles) who's also Khadijah's assistant at the magazine. Cramping their lifestyle is third roommate, and sarcastic, selfish fortune hunter Regine (Kim Fields).
And even though she doesn't live in the brownstone, Khadijah's best friend Maxine (Erika Alexander) - a tough, aggressive divorce attorney who is always searching for Mr. Right - spends more time here than she does in her own home.
With love, laughter and a little bit of luck, four women in New York City on the threshold of the rest of their lives hilariously celebrate Living Single.
