Sonia, a single mother and immigrant, works as a housing warden in a sheltered accommodation estate. Her daily duties involve checking in on her eccentric residents and addressing their endless quibbles with good humour and patience. But today she also has to contend with a karate-obsessed son on school holidays and a mysterious official complaint that has been raised against her.

Despite trying to manage the regular community meeting calmly and without bias, Sonia loses control and the estate's residents mutiny. After attempting to form a majority against Sonia and a fellow resident, the meeting takes a drastic turn.
