After much searching, Amber and Stevie find the perfect house – a bit shabby but with potential – in Grimaldi Square. Just the two of them; a place where they can start their lives together. Recently married, they want to begin a family (with the help of their gay best friend, Jack). Despite the rundown pub across the way, the overgrown garden and a decidedly nosy neighbour, it’s the house of their dreams. But they are not alone in this dream. Upstairs, squatting on an old red sofa, is the former owner – eighty-year-old foul-mouthed, straight-talking, wise-cracking Dorothy – and she’s not going anywhere.
