The inhabitants of quiet, tree-lined Mulberry Lane take a keen interest in the comings and goings of their neighbours. And when number fifteen comes onto the market the unbelievable news that the house is to be a hostel for young offenders causes feelings to run high. Some fear that they will be murdered in their beds by a "gang of ex-convicts", while others want to welcome these youths into the neighbourhood.
Brian, the warden of the hostel, faces an uphill struggle to persuade his new neighbours to accept the scheme. He wants to become a part of the community - and in particular, to get to know Karen, the young mother struggling to bring up her two young children on her own. But however friendly Karen may be, there are others in Mulberry Lane who are determined to scupper the scheme at all costs . . .
