The story is based around the lives of two children, Joe and Emily Parker, who are brother and sister. The series begins with the split of their parents, Colin and Jane, who decide their marriage isn't working. They don't want to make life for their children difficult, so they remain friends while each dates someone else. This forms the beginning background story for the series.
