“That’s me.”

From All Together Now.

On top of her busy school schedule, Amber (Auli’i Cravalho) also works several jobs to make as much money as she can, because she and her mother, Becky (Justina Machado), are homeless.  Amber’s constant enthusiasm and love of music has connected her to countless students at school, her manager at the donut shop, and even the crotchety resident, Joan (Carol Burnett), at the nursing home where she works.  Along with her friends Ty (Rhenzy Feliz), Ricky (Anthony Jacques Jr.), Jordan (Taylor Richardson), and Chad (Gerald Isaac Waters), Amber is planning the school’s annual variety show under the supervision of their faculty advisor, Mr. Franks (Fred Armisen).  Despite the fact that they are sleeping on a school bus, Amber refuses to accept help from anyone or move in with her mom’s abusive on-again-off-again boyfriend.  When Amber is invited to audition at Carnegie Mellon, she is excited for the opportunity, but has no idea how she can afford the plane ticket to Pittsburgh.  After being kicked out of the bus lot, Amber finally confides in Ty and he takes her to his family’s lake house for the weekend so she can practice for her audition.  While her mom moved back in with her ex, Amber doesn’t feel comfortable living with him and asks Ricky’s mom, Donna (Judy Reyes), if she can sleep on the couch for a few nights.  When Amber’s already tough life is hit with major tragedy, she’s left alone with only her dog, Bobby, and her closest friends.  Struggling to cope with both her grief and responsibilities, when Amber finds out that Bobby needs a life-saving surgery, she pulls away from everyone and focuses on earning enough to save Bobby.  Ty refuses to give up on Amber, but convincing her to accept the help of others will show her how much she’s loved, if she’ll just let them in.

Inspired by the book Sorta Like a Rockstar this drama is powerful, heart-wrenching, and inspiring.  Cravalho gives a powerful performance as a teen struggling to hold everything together.  All Together Now is captivating for a wide variety of audiences and will stay with viewers long after the credits roll.
