David Turner is **homeless**.
Jacob Barnes and Davey Bennett are **hungry.**
Desperation leads all three to a ground floor flat at Whitmore House, known as The Farm, a depressing tower block in North London.
**What they discover will haunt them for the rest of their lives.**
Meet the families struggling to survive on a staple diet of austerity and despair.
Single mum Justine is dreaming of a new life free of poverty, Carole-Anne is selling her body to make ends meet and dog-tired Paul is trying to hold down three jobs. Meanwhile, Laura has fallen victim to a zero hours contract and can no longer afford to feed herself.
This is a place where the darkness of deprivation never lifts.
**This is Austerity Street.**
