Meet The Rev. Adam Smallbone. He's a Church of England vicar newly promoted from a sleepy rural parish to the busy inner city world of St Saviour's in Hackney East London. It's a world he has no experience of. & it shows. It really shows. He's derided & ignored by all except the intimidating Archdeacon & the demanding & irritating few who attend his church... Lay Reader Nigel who thinks he should be a vicar hard-drinking Colin on an eternal quest for enlightenment cassock-chasing Adoha & local crackhead Mick who isn't quite the sophisticated grifter he thinks he is. Added to the mix is Alex
- Adam's long-suffering wife
- who does her best to support him but she's got her own career as a solicitor to worry about. & life is about to get more complicated as Adam & Alex learn to adjust to parenthood.
