Alex is a mess - broke, unhappy and mid-way through a messy divorce. Senior colleague Helen is dealing with the death of her fiancé a year ago. So it's not the best idea when the two have a one-night stand. And it's a still worse one that they shack up together. But when Helen offers the homeless Alex the use of her sofa, he accepts. Anything's better than the spare room of Stephen, their swaggering, sex-obsessed boss at the TMA talent agency!
