A promotional film made for Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council to encourage business and industry to re-locate to the area that follows the fictional Harvey family as they move to the area from Milton Keynes.

The family come out onto a patio area at the rear of their new home to look at the rural landscape beyond. The daughter rushes into the garden looking happy. Inside the house the wife unpack crockery from a box while listening to TFM Radio. A woman, presumably a neighbour, comes in holding a kettle and asks is she wants a drink. At the local Dutton-Foreshaw car dealership the businessman collects his new Jaguar car shaking hands with the salesman before leaving. Back at home the two women sit around the kitchen table chatting over cups of coffee. The Jaguar pulls into a parking space outside a factory unit. The businessman goes inside and looks around the empty space. In an upstairs office he sits on the floor and makes a phone call about moving in. Back at home the wife looks through job advertisements in the local newspaper. In a classroom at Conyers School in Yarm a history lesson on Stockton-on-Tees, the daughter sits along with her classmates listening. A bell rings and the class is dismissed, three smiling girls run a long a school corridor. The daughter appears chatting happily with two of her new friends. The Jaguar pulls into a parking space outside the Tabuchi Electric UK Ltd factory. The businessman goes inside and speak briefly with the receptionist, a Japanese businessman appears, and the two men shake hands. The wife driving a red Ford Escort arrives at another business park and pulls into a parking space. Inside she is shown around the office and introduced to others working there, a sign on the wall reads 'SCOPEC'. At Eaglescliffe Golf Club two men play a round of golf, from the green one of them puts his ball into the hole. The businessman drives his Jaguar along a country road speaking to his wife on the telephone. Back at home the wife sits at a dressing table putting on lipstick preparing for a night out. Her husband comes over to ask his wife about which tie to wear. The daughter comes into the room and ask her mother if she can go horse riding with friends. The family walks into a Warner Brothers cinema changing to night-time and the family descending a set of stone stairs and walking into a local restaurant. A phantom car ride at night passing the Wilton works where gasses are being burned off that light up the sky with fire, the wife is at the wheel of the car while her husband sleeps in the backseat. The businessman and his wife join other shoppers wonder around the various stalls on Stockton Market Place. At the Over Silton Trekking Centre their daughter looks over a horse, next to her another girl grooms her steed. The businessman and his wife walk across a field overlooking Saltburn-by-the-Sea below, they climb through a fence looking out across the North Sea and the Redcar blast furnace in the distance. Back in the stable a saddle is placed on the daughter's horse; she tightened the straps in readiness for riding while her parents walk into The Ship Inn in Saltburn sand order drinks at the bar. The daughter and her two friends walk along the Victorian Street at Preston Hall Museum passing other visitors looking in on the various historic shops. At the blacksmiths shop they watch a man beating a piece of metal changing to a factory where workmen use modern welding equipment to join two pieces of metal. The businessman walks past acknowledging one of the worker. In his office he sits with his feet on his desk speaking with someone on the telephone.
