Social experiment based on a real course that takes place in the United States, in which five wealthy Britons swap their expensive cars, designer clothes and luxury homes for ten days of living alongside homeless people. Charles, Clementine, Ravi, Thomas and Darren are sent to live in various hostels across London. They're coming in off the cold streets but are now entering an even more frightening world. Ravi finds himself in Arlington House, where many of the residents are alcoholics.
