Alone Together

Esther and Benji are platonic best friends who want nothing more than to be accepted by the vain and status obsessed culture of Los Angeles.

After visiting a fertility clinic to freeze her own eggs, Esther plans to donate some of her eggs to offset the costs. Meanwhile Benji’s paternal instincts kick in as he awaits word on a sperm test.

When an aggressive woman won’t leave Benji’s brother Dean alone, Benji hatches a plan to help her get over Dean – a plan that includes Esther. Things get complicated when the woman takes a romantic interest in Benji while Esther starts to think she and Dean have a real love connection.

When Esther freaks out about “the Big One,” Benji dismisses her Midwestern panic. Benji’s sister later arrives with her friends, one of whom is also freaked out about the potential earthquake. Benji tries to take advantage of her fragile state and puts the moves on her. As Esther tries to entertain the group with activities, Benji is eventually sucked into her earthquake apocalypse freak out.

Benji is excited when he is given the opportunity to accomplish a goal that dates back to his old ska band days – to make a music video.
