Summary In one Los Angeles hotel, each room hides a different trouble with romance. Jack and Jill can't get up the hill because Steve is blocking their way. Paul and Karen have been married for 7 years and could use a little spice (aka Rachel) in their love life…well, maybe not. Jimmy is from Mars and Steph is from Venus and they’ve got commi...
