Germaine initially believes she is the no-nonsense woman for the job - until she gets to know the very people shes trying to evict. As the rebelling senior citiziens begin to open Germaines eyes to a life outside boxes and numbers, she realises that she may be the only one capable of pulling their feuding community together . . .
