Lila Metcalfe is a trainee journalist in Derby and she''s very used to being given the stories that no one else wants. So, when her editor tells her that the city''s Cossington Park development is being held up by a solitary resident on Hope Street who is refusing to leave, she knows she is going to be the one sent to find out more. And that''s how she meets Connor.

Twenty-something Connor is the sole resident of Hope Street and he is not at all what Lila is expecting. And he has a very clear reason not to move: he is waiting for his mum to come home.
