You'll meet Sanchez , a Colombian gangster's son hiding from kidnappers; Millie , an excluded arsonist and self-confessed wild child; Caspar , the landlady's spoiled grandson; the helpful but hapless Sam and his best friend Ruskin , plus a handful of orphans from overseas who are just happy to have beds - even if they are located in a roofless part of the building...
