Five Bedrooms 'revolves around five strangers, all misfits, who find themselves at a singles table at a wedding. After an excess of alcohol they decide the solution to all their problems is buying a big five bedroom house together. Stewart is Liz, a once high-flying lawyer who has fallen from grace. Peacocke is Ben, a tradie who lives in a caravan. Younane is Heather, a middle-aged woman who is at the crossroads of her life and landlord to Ainsley (Robertson). Ainsley is secretly in love with Lachlan (Sheridan), who has a toxic marriage with Melanie (Jenkinson). Joseph is Harry, an Indian surgeon who cannot bring himself to tell his mother that he’s gay.'
