She is trying to help some tenants whose lives have been turned upside down. Diana lives with her two young boys and her 27-year-old boyfriend, Danny, who has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. She has also just found out she is pregnant, so they are in desperate need of a bigger home.Finally, young housing officer Cat Towl has an unusual case of noise nuisance to deal with - involving two older gentlemen.
