The 4 To 9ers is a coming-of-age comedy series produced by Content and Co, starring Ashton Moio, Galadriel Stineman, and Moses Storm. The show aired in 2012 and followed the lives of a group of high school friends who were entering their senior year. Throughout the series, the characters face a wide variety of challenges, including relationship drama, academic hurdles, and family conflicts. However, they rely on each other for support and are able to overcome their obstacles together.
An original web series about the pains and passions of high schoolers who work after the bell rings, and the parents who annoy them between shifts. Partnering up with one of the more bizarre "wingmen" ever in Seth, Mark pursues Beth, who works at the cellular phone kiosk down-mall. But his interest is not without some healthy competition in the form of hunky karate instructor, Jake, who has a head start on wooing Beth -- and, under the "Guy Code," Mark should back off. (SPOILER ALERT: He won't.) Work politics, evil security guards, zany dreams and nightmares -- and mainly, a bunch of laughs.
Mark starts his new after-school gig working at Subway, along with his swarthy sidekick Seth, only to find himself falling for a girl, Beth, who is already kind of dating somebody. They all work after school, at the local mall, and seem to attract drama. An original web series about the pains and passions of high schoolers who work after the bell rings, and the parents who annoy them between shifts.

Mark gets advice from his father Ray, on how to deal with his new found competition and win over Beth's heart. Sgt. Doyle also seems to have discovered a new crush in Beth's mom, Sylvia.
The Beth-Mark romance continues on its own, not-fast-enough-for-Mark's pace. Sgt. Doyle's campaign to impress new management kicks into high gear, and despite a brisk debate with his inner-voice, Mark finally heads out on his first date with Beth.
Beth and Mark describe their first date to their parents, who rush to give safe-sex lectures as the kids plug their ears. Sylvia expands her dance/yoga studio space... and, naturally, anticipates utter financial meltdown.
Love is in the air at The Muskfield Mall, and Seth has caught the bug. Mark is still in turmoil about where he and Beth stand, and Sgt. Doyle is throwing a party.
It's only been five days on the job for Mark, and things seem to be coming together nicely for him. Marks Father's mystery date is finally revealed, and it seems as if Jake is not going to give up Beth that easily.
Meet The Day Crew... same mall, different shift! The 4 to 9ers --The Day Crew is literally the Next Generation of that workforce: Freshly-minted millennial college grads, facing real life as (gulp) adults trying to begin the careers they studied for.
Jeremy invites life-long best pal Charlie to move into a post-college apartment with him and Samantha so expenses can be split 3 ways instead of 2. Does it complicate things that Charlie and Samantha dated (and broke up badly) back in college? Well, yes.
We meet Mrs. Doyle (Doris Roberts), and see troubling similarities with her son, Sgt. Laurence Doyle as she firms up the B-day party catering gig... which The Day Crew will now handle, as payback from 4 to 9er Seth for making him train Noob employee Joe.
Doyle asks Samantha for help on his Mom's "lady problem", Joe continues to look to Sam like a corporate spy, the guys cater the Doyles' birthday bash and observe some mother-son dance moves which nobody in a civilized society should be forced to see.
Mrs. Doyle presents the Day Crew a BIG tip, Jeremy's luck with the ladies continues (Charlie's doesn't), new 4 to 9er hire Joe gets even more under Sam's (and now Seth's) skin, and any lingering romantic embers between Sam and Charlie seem way dead.
Seth nearly makes a career-ending mistake, Jeremy reveals himself as basically just a slut at heart, Samantha gets what could be a promising nibble on the TV News job front, and then almost gets a literal nibble on the Charlie front. We know, shocker.
The stakes ratchet up for The 4 to 9ers in Season Three as Samantha, Seth and Charlie scuffle for the careers they studied for in college (or didn't). Sgt. Doyle finally gets an underling to help patrol the Muskfield Mall but who is this Malcolm Fullilove guy really, and what if anything does he have to do with Samantha getting her shot as a TV reporter, Seth making up with his strong-willed father, or Sgt. Doyle finally moving of his Mom's apartment? All answers (and plenty of laughs) dead-ahead.
Samantha needs an audition tape to wow her boss and get her shot; she and Charlie fish for a new roommate, snag Sgt. Doyle; Charlie’s medschool debt grows as Seth says his folks’ reaction to his no-college vs. Subway job decision was “mixed.” Ya think?
Seth’s new living quarters leave something to be desired and we “meet” the Dad who sent him away; Sam’s audition news piece focuses on millennials just like them as her erstwhile camera crew (Seth & Charlie) argue like they’re Spielberg and Lucas.
Sgt. Doyle finally gets some help in Malcolm Fullilove, a mysterious new Muskfield Mall security hire with a suspicious nature and blurry backstory. Seth edits Sam’s audition tape, which Mr. Stout watches and... well, the rule here is no spoilers, right?
Security cam reveals activity in the storage area and it’s not just rats partying after-hours at Burrito Barn. Seth’s Mom makes life rough for the Dad who banished him; Stout tells Sam to be ready “Because news never knows” - whatever the hell that means.
Sgt. Doyle’s hopes for an ideal room-mate “situation” hang in the balance as an epic confrontation between Seth and his powerful Industrialist-father looms; wanna-be TV reporter Samantha may get her chance to show Stout she’s got what it takes after all.
