He was a broken-hearted skateboarder, she was a direction-less, wannabe journalist. Fate kicked them onto the streets to find each other for the first time in a greasy North London café. Defeated by the horrors of flat hunting in the big city, they conspire to share accommodation under the guise of a professional couple, when they discover a bargain flat that might just save them both. These then are the adventures of Tim Bisley and Daisy Steiner, two disillusioned twenty-somethings occupying a world in which reality is as subjective as their taste in shoes.
