A millionaire's wife who lives a luxurious lifestyle exchanges with a freegan Jesus Christian who scavenges for food from bins.
Susan and Roland Gianstefani are freegans who live off society's waste and eat food from supermarket dustbins. They live in a camper van with their 12-year-old son Danny within a small mobile community of devout Jesus Christians.
There are just 25 Jesus Christians around the world and their extreme Christian beliefs have led to allegations that they are a religious cult who recruit new members by kidnapping. The Gianstefanis' nomadic life has meant sacrifices for Danny, who has been raised with strict Christian freegan values.
Nick and Debbie Ayton are living the capitalist dream in their four-bedroom Surrey mansion. IT consultant Nick is a self-made millionaire and Debbie is a full-time housewife. They have four children: Max, 19, Arnie, 16, Obie, 15 and daughter Darcy aged nine. The Ayton children want for nothing and last year Nick and Debbie spent £10,000 on them at Christmas time.
With two wannabe rock stars, a child model and a budding professional golfer for kids, Debbie is in charge of a hectic 'after school' regime of activities while Nick works 18 hours a day to maintain the family's £10,000 a month luxury lifestyle.
Can millionaire housewife Debbie survive living in a camper van with a community of Jesus Christians where all her luxuries are denied? Will Jesus Christian Susan cope catering to a rich family's every need?
How does a hardworking tax-payer feel when her new husband makes no contribution? And how will a family who dine on steak and champagne respond to raiding their dinner from the dustbin?
