This play depicts the journey of a young couple, Cathy (played by Carol White) and Reg (Ray Brooks). Initially, their relationship is successful and they have a child, leading them to move into a modern home. However, as Reg gets injured and loses his well-paid job, they are evicted by bailiffs and face a life of poverty and unemployment. They illegally squat in empty houses and stay in shelters. In the end, Cathy's children are taken away by social services.
