Michael Adams shares a flat in North London with three other men in their late twenties. Days are wasted lying in bed till lunchtime, playing Nintendo or if he's really bored even doing a bit of work. He does what he wants when he wants. And then, when he feels like it, he goes back to his unsuspecting wife and children.
For Michael is living a double life - he escapes from the exhausting misery of babies by telling his wife he has to work through the night or travel up north. And while she is valiantly coping on her own, he is just a few miles away in a secret flat, doing all the things that most men with small children can only dream about. He thinks he can have it all, until his deception is inevitably exposed . . .
