Nicole Miller--née Nicola Sharp ("by art school I thought it was common; too late I caught on that an English working-class name is a whole lot cooler than a French tart's name, which can never be cool though it can be camp."--is romantically attached to her working- class roots, sexually attached (although reluctantly) to her largely absent, irritating and unfaithful photographer husband, and adores her granny.
So, when her mum calls to say she's putting granny Liza Sharp into a home, Nicole--recovering slowly from a Bolly and cocaine-fuelled girls-night-in-leaps onto the first Bristol-bound train to rescue Liza from this fate worse than death and brings granny to live in her ultra-90s Docklands loft.
