Snow
I am so sorry. But your names: You are Briar. Winter. Phoenix. River. Lake. Almond and Mercury. And you’re not pulling my leg?

Winter
Having a weird name seems to be a prerequisite to get a room here.

Phoenix
What’s your name?

Snow
Oh. Erm… Snow.

Winter
Looks like you passed that test.

Seven people: A doe-eyed actor/actress, a control-freak, a lazy couch-potato, a serious lawyer-to-be, an honest friend, a down-to-earth store manager and a hopeless spaghetti cook share an apartment and face rising tensions as the control-freak and the couch-dweller go head-to-head over the question of cleanliness. At the same time, the apartment is running out of money and the flatmates decide to rent out a spare room. They find a new flatmate in Snow. Snow is herself escaping her past, losing first her mother, then her father and enduring a dysfunctional relationship with her stepmother. But there is little room to escape as she struggles to make sense of the sometimes joyful, sometimes painful chaos sharing a life with seven flatmates brings.
