It's the start of another summer season at The Grosvenor in Torquay. After a long, lean winter, finances are at rock bottom so hotel manager Mark decides that his 'three-star, bucket-and-spade' hotel is going upmarket.

Mark's first step towards attracting posher guests and their disposable dosh is through special events. Feisty reservations manager Alison is not convinced by Mark's new snobbish aspirations but is soon swept along in his maverick mission.

The Grosvenor's newly promoted events manager, flamboyant ex-deputy manager Christian, has been brought back to run these functions: his first task is to showcase the hotel with a glitzy magic ball and gala dinner. With money to make and people to impress, the stakes are higher than ever.

But with ticket sales chaos, last minute menu panic and a dessert disaster on the night, will Christian pull a rabbit out the hat or will he end up wishing he could do a disappearing act?

Mark's posh guest prayers may have been answered in the shape of a family from leafy Surrey who are desperate to go to the ball.

And, after a financially tough year, returning guest Rachel Weston could have some life-changing news for her jet-ski loving partner Gary.
