Set inside Britain's housing crisis, six stand-alone but interconnected dramas follow ambition, resilience and the search for belonging.

Joy lives in a van on the Dorset coast, saving every penny towards a future she can afford. Ruben is trying to keep his family's holiday let business afloat after his father's death. When they meet by chance, an unexpected summer romance blossoms, but with local anger growing over van living, second homes and who gets to belong, their relationship is soon caught in the crossfire.
