Ben's on-and-off ex-girlfriend, Rachel Chapman is constantly trying to find herself-as an interior decorator, traveling in Africa, or as a journalist.

The creative half of the fledgling New York City clothing line Crisp, Ben Epstein is a designer with an eye for the raw energy of the city streets. Together with his partner and best friend Cam, Ben will do whatever it takes to make it to the next level.

Cam's cousin Rene Calderon was once the most feared gangster on the Lower East Side, but is now trying to make it as a legitimate businessman with his Rasta Monsta energy drink.

Having known Ben and Cam since high school, "Kapo" is a hedge fund manager who has money to spend and the goodwill to spread the wealth among his old friends-as long as they can hook him up with clubs and girls.

A self-made interior designer and Rachel's big-hearted but clingy boss, Edie Weitz believes she is saving the world 300 square feet at a time.

As the charming and persistent partner in Crisp, Cameron "Cam" Calderon Cam is constantly hustling to further himself and the brand. There are times when he might push a little too hard, but Cam's heart is always in the right place.

Rachel's new hotelier beau Darren Hall knows what he wants and usually gets it.

The object of Rene's affection has put in more than enough time with street hustlers and gangsters in her youth. Now a security guard, mom to an angry teenager and part-time Rasta Monsta model, Debbie just wants Rene to be straight with her.

Ben and Cam's good friend Domingo Brown has the hookups to the hottest parties and the unconventional job of dope-dealing and dog-walking for high end clients in the city.

Gingy Wu could be an independently wealthy artist - but she's succeeded without daddy's money, running her own gallery. She's Ben and Cam's best (girl) friend.

Lulu D is the owner of a successful high Lower East Side boutique whose business relationship with Cam develops into something more.

Ben's new girlfriend Julie is still trying to figure out where she stands in Ben's close knit circle of friends--and one prominent ex.

Once a skateboarding legend, Wilfredo lost his way and may have gone a little crazy, but Rene and Rasta Monsta want to give him a shot at redemption.

A living legend in the world of New York City designers, Nancy sees something she likes in Crisp's up-and-coming designer.
