'Mates' is the UK's first purely online 'sex-com' where the public determine the course of the plot. Centered around a group of friends - Darren, Tom, Vince, Bridget and Sarah - each episode sees them lurch from one scenario to another, and shows how they do their best to screw up their relationships, and friendships, along the way.
Darren
Darren is a player by its very definition. Despite having a gorgeous girlfriend in the form of Bridget, he can't help but go after women, often with great success. He met Bridget last time he went on a stag night, when he still had a girlfriend. Will he ever learn his lesson?
Bridget
Beautiful and self-assured, Bridget's loyalty to Darren can't be faulted. A down-to-earth girl, she tells it like it is and always sees the logic in a situation... except her own. Lusted after by Tom, has she chosen the wrong guy?
Sarah
A little bit ditzy, Sarah can't help but see the best in people, so when her fiancé, Steve, initially goes missing from his stag night, she's not too phased by it. She's very trusting of her friends and completely believes Darren, more so than her own fiancé. Will she realise that sometimes you can be too trusting of people?
Tom
Jealous of Darren's pulling power, and desperate to win Bridget's heart, Tom is on a mission to expose Darren for what he is. Trouble is, every time he tries to reveal the truth, something gets in the way... so he tries to recruit his friends to help him. Are his efforts in vain or will he finally get the girl?
Vince
The world's most frustrated virgin, Vince is at the end of his tether (and box of tissues) when it comes to women. A true friend, his loyalty is tested by both Darren and Tom when they offer to help him with women. Will he do the dirty on his mate for the sake of that long-awaited shag?
Julie
One of Darren's conquests, Julie's a game girl and willing to try anything once. She thinks she's landed on her feet by meeting Darren, but will she see his true colours before it's too late?
Debbie
Reputedly a nymphomaniac, and one of Tom's past conquests, she claims that she's now on the lookout for a very specific type of man...will she succeed in finding her dream man?
Steve
Sarah's fiancé who disappeared from his own stag night. What has happened to him and why hasn't he called Sarah?
