Description
Meet the Londons, a family in need of a friend. Gerry and Bernie London are proud parents of Tony, Sean, and Ned, three wayward lads whose lives have suddenly reached crisis points. Newly divorced Tony is fantasizing about someone he really shouldn't; prize-winning novelist Sean has a hot new girlfriend and a dose of writer's block; and Ned is just back from Australia, without the girl he took with him - or a clue what he's going to do with his life. If that wasn't enough for one household, the Londons also have a new lodger - a mysterious rockabilly called Gervase. Will he turn out to be a friend or foe to the family?
