The film tells the story of George Dupler, a high-powered executive who loses his temper and takes a demotion to manage a 24-hour drugstore. Despite his best efforts to maintain his status and prestige, George quickly realizes that he is no longer in control of his life.
As George struggles to adapt to his new role, he is faced with a series of challenges, including the temptation of an affair with his distant cousin, Cheryl Gibbons. Despite his best intentions to steer his son Freddie away from Cheryl, George finds himself attracted to her and eventually succumbs to her advances.
As the affair progresses, tensions rise between George and his family, culminating in a heated argument between George and his son in front of his mother. Freddie accuses his father of stealing his girl, and George realizes that he has lost the respect of his family and colleagues.
In an effort to regain control of his life, George quits his job, separates from his wife Helen, and moves into a warehouse. He invites Cheryl to join him, but the two soon realize that their relationship is not as fulfilling as they had hoped.
In the end, George decides to rekindle his relationship with Helen, while Cheryl returns to her husband Bobby. All Night Long is a poignant and often funny exploration of one man's struggle to find meaning in his life after losing everything he thought was important.
