Gail, Belle, David and Hannah all encounter new and disruptive influences in their lives, kicking off interweaving stories set in a house in Manchester divided into four flats.

In a house in Manchester divided into four flats, we are introduced to four interweaving stories about love, parenthood, loss and self-discovery. Gail bumps into an old friend who makes a startling observation about Gail’s marriage. Belle’s ordered life is thrown into disarray by the hospitalisation of her sister Ruth and the subsequent arrival of wayward niece Maya. David goes on holiday without his wife Kelly and has his head turned unexpectedly by Saira. And heavily pregnant Hannah, recently coupled up with Liam, is surprised by her connection with Andy, the father of her unborn child, who has been away travelling for the duration of the pregnancy.
