Black comedy documenting the relationships of six unusual couples in the style of a fly-on-the-wall documentary.

There's Flick, who cannot have intimate relations with her husband Peter because she still pines for her deceased true love Geoffrey, B&B owners and swingers Gordon and Sheila, groom-to-be Stephen with his latent homosexual tendencies, Satanists Tony and Beverley, and the dysfunctional Les and Ray.

Each episode features near-the-knuckle laughs as we delive into the warped world of dysfunctional human relationships.
