ABOUT THE SHOW

WHEN A ONE NIGHT STAND turns into a cross- country road trip, two strangers find themselves in a month-long crash course on one another, and they’re down for the journey - as long as love doesn’t hitch a ride. We Start In Manhattan is a sexy and tender romantic comedy about how 3,000 miles, 30 days, and 1 strap on can force us to get deep with each other and - ultimately - ourselves.
