It may be quiet in the suburbs, but it''s far from peaceful...

Oak Drive can be found nestled tidily in an unassuming part of England. Its neat front gardens overlook an average-sized common which the street''s residents survey with quiet, some might say, smug, pride. This is the sort of place where it pays to look after the small things, and let the big things look after themselves.

Sometimes, however, the big things do not look after themselves - and all hell can break loose in the sleepy streets of suburbia.

Set in suburban Britain, Common Decency chronicles the lives and interactions of the street''s residents as they band together to save a beloved oak tree from destruction at the hands of developers.

As tensions rise and repressed neuroses and resentments seep out, the secrets of the street''s inhabitants threaten to shatter the well-ordered veneer and reveal some rather more surprising truths...
