Drawing on Woman's Hour listeners' stories and thoughts on the theme of desire, writer Amanda Whittington has created a series of five short linked plays set in a large shared house in Bristol. Landlady Ella rents out one flat to teacher Sarah and her teenage daughter Jaz, while Adrian lives in the attic flat rent-free in return for doing jobs around the house and garden.

In Episode 1, Ella advertises for a new tenant, and an old flame from her schooldays comes back into her life, with consequences Ella's not sure she's ready for.
