Trevor Pierce is a larger than life character who insists that he is Cupid, the Roman god of love. He claims that he has been sent to New York City by Zeus to bring 100 romantically challenged couples together before being allowed to return to Mt. Olympus. His persistence eventually lands him in a mental institution. Three months later, Trevor is found to be harmless to himself and others and is released -- but under certain conditions. Placed under the care of psychiatrist and self-help author Dr. Claire McCrae, he must attend her singles group therapy sessions on a regular basis so that she can monitor his progress. Trevor returns to his rented room upstairs from the struggling Tres Equis Cantina, owned by Felix Araiza and his sister, Lita. In exchange for rent, Trevor becomes a bartender and creates an atmosphere for singles looking for lasting love. His ideas, such as half-price margarita nights and mariachi karaoke duets, could help him bring couples together and ultimately take him closer to the day that he gets to return to Mt. Olympus. No one believes Trevor's story, but everyone finds him to be quite charming. Although he possesses a great knowledge of Greek mythology, Claire finds that Trevor constantly interferes and contradicts her when it comes to her pragmatic style of helping lonely hearts find their soul mates. In true love, Claire believes it's all about friendship and mutual respect; for Trevor, heat and passion conquer all. Only time will tell who will win this battle for love.

S1E5 - Shipping Out
Trevor accidentally finds a stack of love letters from Joe, a young soldier and one of Claire's patients, written from Iraq to Robin "Peaches" Peachtree, his unrequited high school love. Trevor wants to reunite them and, as part of his plan, convinces Claire to organize a Mardi Gras-themed party for her singles group. Trevor flies in Peaches, a Cajun caterer, from Louisiana to provide the party food. When Claire realizes what Trevor is doing, she tells him that he's setting the couple up for failure, since she knows a secret about Joe as to why he shouldn't be with Peaches. Meanwhile, Claire faces her own fear of "fast-dancing" in public at a high school dance Trevor has set up for Joe and Peaches' first date.
