Sarah Gold's got roommate problems, but she's not about to admit it to her overbearing parents, who think she can't make any decisions for herself.

Through a chance encounter at a local diner, she finds a huge Victorian brick boarding house run by the grandmotherly Sophie. Young people come and go, as they make their way in life.
