Some things are just meant to be, or sometimes it seems that way. Like old uni pals inexplicably moving to your hometown, or realising that your childhood best friend is the love of your life, or landing a star role in a hit TV series that could well be your autobiography.

Fate, karma, written in the stars, or just bizarre quirks of coincidence?

For better or worse, the events of the next six months will push the friends to the limits. For The Circle can expand and contract, but it is always whole; eternal.

Set over a period of six months (January-June), In The Stars Part I explores the day-to-day lives of The Circle--nine friends from high school, now in their late thirties--following them through a year of celebration, loss, illness and life-changing decisions.

In The Stars Part I is Season Four in the Hiding Behind The Couch Series.
