Inspired by Woman's Hour listeners' stories and experiences, Amanda Whittington's five linked plays are set in a house in Bristol where landlady Ella and her tenants each have their secret hopes and desires. In the second episode, teenager Jaz has set her heart on an expensive pair of boots.

Meanwhile, Ella's not sure where her romance with old flame Jules is heading.
