Catford brickie, Terry Prior, wakes up in a strange room in a strange house and next to a strange girl. He cannot remember how he got there and neither can she. But one thing is clear. They are very different people. Terry is a typical full English breakfast with builder's tea type of guy whereas Charley is more Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary. She is posh, she is well-off and she is gorgeous. Which means she is way out of Terry's usual league – or so he thinks.
When gastro-pub meet local boozer, and white-collar meets blue, Charley and Terry's love is built on the shakiest of foundations. And a reality film crew will bring the whole thing crashing down around their ears.
