Residents of an old apartment complex in Vancouver's west end interact with the superintendent and the owners of the adjoining grocery store, their lives narrated through songs.

Robson Arms is an older Tudor styled two-story walk up apartment building located in the west end of Vancouver. The building is inhabited by a variety of tenants, who interact with each other, and who interact with the mainstays of the building, namely the womanizing superintendent Yuri Kukov, and the Tans, the owner/managers of Pendrell Market, the corner grocery store attached to the building. On a week to week basis, The Troubadours comment on the state of the building's tenants through song over the opening credits.—Huggo
