Home - Season 1

Peter Guest, his new partner Katy and her son John arrive back in Dorking, Surrey from their first holiday together. As they unpack the car, they are in for a big surprise. Somehow they must come to terms with the loss of their luggage, the arrival of something that will change their lives forever, and the chance of criminal charges for people smuggling.

Sami is now an official asylum seeker. Despite what Peter thinks, Katy is determined that Sami should stay for as long as he needs to, and since it's her house, Peter can't really object. John has organised the spare room to make it just like Damascus, and in return Sami introduces Katy and John to his new British friend Raj. Peter is given the job parenting John after his first day at a new school, but it is only a matter of hours before a stolen phone and something far more dodgy than a simple trip to a petting zoo puts everything in jeopardy.

Sami is now settling in and has made contact with his family who are in Berlin. John gets into a fight at his new school, and Peter has his worst prejudices about Sami Confirmed.

Things are tense as Sami anxiously awaits his interview at the Home Office. Katy decides to distract him by getting Sami to present a talk at the school.

Things are still tense between Sami and his wife Yasmine, who has now claimed asylum in Germany. And some smug Germans arrive from Berlin to try and persuade Sami to join Yasmine.

With the day of his substantive interview fast approaching, Sami is desperate to make a good impression. But is Britain actually where his heart lies?
