Eighteen-year-old Serena and her family live in Lincolnshire and welcome Stacey into their bustling family life. Serena explains to Stacey that they've decided to invite her into their home to show people that they are normal. Serena is in the middle of planning her wedding to her fiancé, Marco. He is from a Gypsy and Traveller community too, and Serena wouldn't have it any other way.
Spending time with Serena's sister Ivana and mum Teresa as they help Serena get organised for the biggest step in a Gypsy girl's life, Stacey learns that this community often chooses to marry within their own, as it enables them to protect the values and traditions they hold dear.
Serena's been searching high and low for all the things she's going to need to create her new married home.
Serena gets Stacey mucking out the horses in her stable, where Serena has taken her childhood passion for horse riding to launch her own business buying, breeding and selling horses. The Traveller community has long been associated with horses, but the business is usually left to the men; Serena is breaking the mould at just 18 years old. Stacey is surprised to hear that Serena often feels it's best to keep her ethnicity hidden when she's meeting potential clients, as she fears they may not want to do business with her.
In Nottinghamshire, Stacey meets a young woman taking a new job in a busy, thriving salon in the ‘gorger' (non-Traveller) world. At an age when many Gypsy and Traveller women may be hoping to get married, 22-year-old Ebony is pushing ahead with her career in beauty.
Stacey joins her for her first day at the new salon, and Ebony confides in Stacey about the compromises you sometimes have to make to fit into the ‘gorger' world. But, proud of her Gypsy heritage, Ebony has found a salon where she isn't afraid to own who she is.
