What happens when you return from a family holiday to France and open the boot to find a Syrian refugee where your luggage was supposed to be? That’s the situation facing new couple Peter and Katy when they get back to Dorking from their first family holiday with Katy’s young son John, who has spent the journey from Calais winding up his would-be stepdad. Their unexpected passenger is a bloke called Sami who hopes to claim asylum in Britain.
Seasons & Episode
Six months of waiting for a decision, and Sami's good-humoured patience is starting to wear very thin. A family day out in the Surrey Hills leads to departures and frustration which trigger a confrontation and a heated exchange at a 3-star hotel. If Peter can't save the day, Sami will lose his asylum claim.
Now he's back in Dorking, Sami is determined to be part of the local community, so his friend Raj invites him to enter the Dorking Marmalade Festival. Meanwhile, Katy walks into a sticky situation of her own at school that makes Peter's promotion at work all the more important.
It's now been eight months since he arrived in Britain, and Sami is still playing the waiting game for the right to remain in the UK. Everything is in limbo, all Sami can do is make himself useful to his hosts in Dorking.
