Michele Duncan thinks nothing of cleaning her Stoke-on-Trent house from top to bottom for eight hours each day; even brandishing a toothbrush to remove every last speck of grime from the cooker. Then, as the breadwinner, she's off on night shifts at her local garage.
Michele's partner Nigel Austin and his stepchildren Sian (14) and Steven (11) aren't allowed to lift a finger to help. Michele likes kids to be kids and, in any case, she doubts the others would do a decent job if they did help.
Meanwhile, in Hampshire, Tracy Bonnar lives with her husband Paul and children River, Indiana and Canyon. Tracy runs a business empire, juggling the running of a gym, salon and jewellery business, along with her home, where everyone is expected to pull their weight. And she's a great believer in me-time, with a passion for riding.
What happens when Tracy imposes her management skills on Michele's family? And how does Michele cope with a radically different lifestyle in Hampshire? Will she be returning home as the chilled woman that Nigel would love her to be? As Tracy and Michele swap homes and families, there's a revelation in store that has one of them looking at her life in a whole new light.
