Olaf is a computer nerd who inherits a run-down country estate. He sells off most of it, retaining two buildings, the mews and the coachhouse, renovates them, and moves in to working as an IT consultant. Over time he acquires a cat, a dog, and a foster son, but the development of relationships within his environment is not straightforward.
