In the first episode, four of the unlikely pairs attempt to establish friendships despite the generational gulf between them. 13-year-old Jacub, who has ADHD and is struggling to cope with his dad's suicide, is paired with Clive, whose son died from an overdose. Their initial meetings go well but will the older man be able to help Jacub manage his behaviour? 13-year-old Tawne and retired nurse Judy have something in common: they are both victims of bullying. However, their first meeting is a disaster. 16-year-old Robbie's mum has multiple sclerosis, and he often misses school to help her, while his partner Rick has lived alone for years. Finally, 16-year-old Wez has a passion for boxing, but former electrician Dave doesn't rate it as a career.
