The trials and tribulations of David, a world-weary thirty-something trying to make sense of his complicated life. David shares his flat with his lodger, Ethan, an American personal trainer. His friend and neighbour Lord Peter Harrington is an aristocrat who's upset about losing his seat in the House of Lords. His son, who David thinks might be gay, lives with his ex-wife Sian.
