Quiet Haven (Storycuts)

A scandal is uncovered at a nursing home - but is it a conspiracy?

A new employee starts work at Quiet Haven retirement home. Strangely pro-active, and keen to form friendships with the underlings and residents, he begins to uncover skeletons in the closet. At the same time, he's indulging his drink-ravaged landlady's desire for company. His intentions are good - too good to be true?
