Brenda has just lost her job, Vicki has been diagnosed with cancer and Melanie who has been struggling to have a baby and has just found out that she's pregnant - but also that her husband is having an affair. The women soon find that living together in a small cramped cottage with only one bathroom is not turning out to be the idyll that they imagined it would be.
