Even though he's about to be married, Brian McVeigh doesn't want to give up his old apartment. He decides to hold onto his flat as a weekend clubhouse, but he rents it out to other people during the week. Brian's new tenants are Sam, an aspiring gourmet chef who's just been dumped by his spacey girlfriend Pastel, and Ellen, who is stuck in an unhappy marriage and wants a place to work on her art.
