Four's A Crowd

Four’s a Crowd a TV pilot synopsis by Teri L. Foster A freshly divorced mother and son move from Texas to Florida, where she begins teaching at the boy’s elementary school. Forced together with two roommates by a vanished homeowner, their life becomes a pressure-cooker—or genuine learning experience. Synopsis Newly divorced AMY DUNCAN and son CALEB move from Texas to Florida, where begins Amy’s first teaching position at Caleb’s elementary school. Despite shocking her mother, father, and friends by parting ways with—in their opinions—a seemingly perfect husband and life, Amy’s in fact fleeing marital trauma for a fresh start. Arriving at the lavender-painted rental and its black-framed windows, she wonders why homeowner, FRANK BRYANT, isn’t there to greet her. Worse, as Amy noisily fumbles with the keys, the front door opens. JOEY SILVERMAN stands there glaring at this very unwelcome stranger. A recent escapee from Indiana and gay-intolerant parents, he’s still unpacking boxes, jittery about finding a job and living free of judgment. More hostile perhaps than Joey, JESSICA MIDDLETON peers over his shoulder like some political prisoner. All too true: she’s ducking network news and social media after a reckless affair with New York’s family-friendly governor. Too bad she ruined his (and her own) life. But what’s the deal with jerky Joey, this toothy brunette, and her squinty son? How’d they get a key? Take-charge Joey whips out his Android to call the homeowner about invasive Amy, her kid, and Jessica (whose hotness got her through the door). Surprise—Frank’s number isn’t the only thing disconnected here. Good for him, because his confused, angry renters admit to one another covering the whole year up front. Now Frank—wherever he is—can really enjoy quality “me time.” DONALD ANDERSON, recent widower/property repairman, responds to the combative voices next door, perhaps fearing (or anticipating) structural damage. That damned Bryant scoundrel seems to attract trouble! Old Don isn’t fazed by retirement, but if the racket over there is any indication, those newbies are gonna have one hell of a time getting acquainted . . . and certainly—if they survive—will need his considerable “Mister Fix-it” skills.
