BENT is a new romantic comedy about two people who suddenly find themselves attracted to the qualities that typically repel them. On the surface, Alex (Amanda Peet, 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip') and Pete (David Walton, 'Perfect Couples') could not be more different. The recently divorced Alex is a resilient and tough lawyer who now is raising her eight-year-old daughter, Charlie (Joey King, 'Ramona and Beezus'), as a single mom.
