Synopsis
Helen Copeland of a publishing house 'Love is All Around', specializing in romantic fiction is looking for new female authors. A competition is declared and the winner is…Lola Banbury, a pseudonym of an aspiring writer whose real name is Leonard Loftus. To sign the publishing contract and to bank in the sizeable prize, Leonard has to keep up appearances…
With the scheming help of his ‘disarmer’ of a teenage daughter Dee Dee and his ‘charmer’ of a father Gus, the straight-jacketed Leo has to masquerade as Lola even as Helen insists on visiting him/her to sign the contract.
The expected shenanigans ensue as each character tries to secure an outcome that is to his/her advantage - but is something serious emerging in the thick of all this brouhaha? It’s a fortunate thing that nobody’s perfect - and yes, Love is All Around!
