Steve and Nicky are a couple on their second marriage, and after a diet of TV relocation shows and glossy lifestyle magazines, they make the decision to get out of the city and the rat race and settle down to a simple existence in the beautiful Yorkshire Moors. However, the couple quickly realise that they have been watching a `best of' reel of property successes, and that they have inadvertently bought a property in what the locals call `The Dip', a place with no internet but plenty of potential for flooding. Thanks to amoral estate agents, architects and builders trying to squeeze as much money out of them as possible, they soon realise that their finances mean there is no way back to their old life. Steve and Nicky must put on a brave face as they fight to stop their friends in the city being right about their bad move.
