It is the Autumn of 1985 when Lizzy Summers, a newly qualified but mature social worker ventures full of aspiration, hope and promise into the "illustrious" world of the inner city. She soon encounters the strange and bizarre - her colleagues! Her clients range from the manic pensioner Ethel who behaves like the oldest teenager in town to the criminal Craig who at fifteen is solely responsible for the soaring crime wave sweeping the county. As she works in this highly charged emotional environment, expending blood sweat and tears, her experiences range from the hilarious to the gut-wrenching. Despite the trials and tribulations of a social workers lot, Lizzy somehow manages to maintain her sense of humour even in the face of political correctness! As her career hopes and dreams appear to be crumbling so does her marriage and Lizzy feels at times that she is losing her grip on life and work. In desperation Lizzy feels there is just one answer for her - get to grips with a new man who fortunately appears in the form of Bob, her "too good to be true" colleague. Will job, marriage or romance survive or will it all end in tears?
