Fifteen young ambitious people are all working together in an empty building, some also live there. They try to achieve the same goal: having a selfmade business. Despite having the same goal, they're different people with different opinions about how to reach their goal. One of them is Sterre de Vries, who initiated the whole thing. Her father (Bert de Vries) is the owner of the building. It's all there: ambitions, arguments, secrets, intrigues, friendship, family ties, romance, lust.
Sterre has just started, but already faces trouble. She needs more people who will rent a part of her father's building. On top of that, some of the people who do rent there have an argument. Unfortunately, Sterre's father refuses to help her.
Good news for Sterre: someone's interested in renting workspace. That person is Romy, but what's going on with her? Floris thinks he recognizes her from the past. Helena and Wesley try to work in the same room, but experience some difficulties. Inge knows something about Smit.
