All For One

It is May in the year 2000. In a secret meeting, the owners of seven Apple computer dealerships from all over Australia have gathered to hear about an ambitious scheme. Instead of cutting each others' throats in price wars, they could merge their corner stores and make each other rich. Almost overnight they would create a 200 million dollar corporation, which could then be floated on the Australian Stock Exchange. The feeling of excitement is hard to contain - the combined business might raise 100 million on the stock market - more than these people ever dreamt possible. For Barbara Kloester though there is only a feeling of repulsion - to her husband and partner, Robert, there is the fear of being left out. They decide to continue.
