Anna attends an interview at a well-to-do firm of solicitors to find herself confronted by old flame Miles. While Miles considers her application, his colleague Milly and her partner Egg wonder how to fill the house they have rented, and the fifth member of the group, Warren, is also interviewed for a job.

Anna hopes to rekindle her romance with Miles - but he is less than keen. Milly makes good career progress, but Egg struggles adjust to his job - and with living with Warren.

Egg takes on a medical negligence case and becomes emotionally involved with a client who has cancer. Meanwhile, Warren discovers the truth about Delilah, and Miles chooses a bad person in whom to confide about his love life.
