Details

Summary
All for One is about three childhood friends, now in their mid twenties, whose weekend reunion is sabotaged by ambition and unrequited love. Tony is the producer of the hit sitcom Model Detectives. He lives in Los Angeles with Lynn, an elementary school teacher who complains that "half the people I know have had plastic surgery, the other half are in the third grade." Jeff is a high strung law student who is mortified by the fact that he is in love with Lynn, his best friend's girlfriend. Jonny Lightningrod, an aspiring musician "I'm doing hardcore, but as a solo artist." wants a guest spot on Tony's show. Farrah is a runaway who has hitch hiked with Jonny to L.A., and she decides she wants to live in Tony's house.
