 Single mom and nurse Janice Keneally and her pre-teen son Henry Armstrong move into Robson Arms. The fact that their new apartment, like all the units in the building, requires much maintenance - in Janice s words, it s a shit-hole - is the least of her worries as she needs to adjust to her new single mom status after the turbulent break-up with Henry s father Gord. Janice s stress is evident to all her new neighbours. Yuri Kukoc, the building super, tells Henry all she really needs to relieve her stress is sex. With new friend Ruby Tan in hand, Henry goes on a search in the building for a sex partner for his Mom. The most suitable candidate seems to be Tom Goldblum, a lawyer who lives directly above Janice and Henry. Henry and Ruby do some investigative work to discover more about Tom by breaking into his apartment, and promptly get caught by Tom. But they do find out what they need to know - he is single, recently widowed and the noises Henry and Janice continually hear from his apartment is not sex as they assumed but Tom exercising - and they in turn tell Tom the reason for the break-in. Although Tom has no interest in having sex with a woman he hasn t even met yet, Henry maneuvers a dinner invitation for Tom to their apartment that evening. At dinner, both Janice and Tom end up being embarrassed when Janice finds out about Henry s scheme and the fact that Tom knew about it. Later, Janice decides to apologize to Tom, who ends up helping her with her life situation in more ways than one.
