After four years of silent adoration, Felicity musters the courage to approach fellow high school senior Ben Covington, the popular boy she has admired from afar. She asks Ben to sign her yearbook -- a bold move for a timid girl. "Give me a minute," he replies...then writes a message that will alter Felicity's destiny.

The embers of Felicity's crush are fanned to life by Ben's words. Much to her parents' dismay, Felicity decides to pass on her longtime plans to study medicine at Stanford. Instead, she follows Ben to the University of New York, forgoing a sure thing for an unpredictable and financially unstable education. Dumping everything to pursue a crush across the country to a strange city, school and future doesn't sound like a rational decision. Could she be crazy? Has Felicity made a "colossal mistake"?

Maybe. Then again, maybe not. This new WB show comes from the creative team of writer-producer J.J. Abrams ("Forever Young," "Regarding Henry") and producers Matt Reeves ("The Pallbearer") and Imagine Television.

Felicity (Keri Russell), Ben (Scott Speedman) and their new college friends (Scott Foley, Amy Jo Johnson) begin an adventure into adulthood and independence on shaky ground. Felicity soon learns that heartache and confusion can lead to new beginnings and a more promising future. While she’s chasing the boy of her dreams, she stumbles upon a Felicity she never knew. Is this the person she wants to be? The choice, of course, is hers.
