Desmond Ambrose runs a barbershop In Peckham that is the hub of the community's social scene. Desmond often talks about retiring and returning to his native Guyana, but his affection for his customers and the community prevent him from doing so. Desmond's wife, Shirley, often serves as the backbone of the shop as she acts as the voice of reason for Desmond and the others who frequent the shop, a group that includes Desmond's old friend Porkpie, Gambian student Matthew, and the Ambroses' children Michael, Sean and Gloria.
