Lydia Porter wants nothing more than to lead her own life - and she's nearly there. She has a degree in literature, a decent job and her beautiful, adoring boyfriend, Joshua Leaway. Lydia and Joshua's relationship has been successfully kept their own dirty little secret from the rest of their co-workers, as there is a no dating policy. Despite this, she is still dissatisfied. What's missing is, a place to call her own. After finally finding her dream apartment, she is over the moon. However her dreams are crushed on moving day, when she discovers that her unit has been double booked and Adam West; a man about her age and the furthest from her idea of what a man of the 21st century should be like, is moving in as well. Not being able to give up the apartment, she settles with her new roommate and must keep it a secret from Joshua.
