Monica Campbell is a self-taught decorator/designer prodigy. When she finds herself pregnant at the tender age of seventeen, Monica runs away to keep her Aunt Jessie from forcing her to give up her baby. Desperate, she takes shelter in an abandoned two-story home but is soon discovered by Harman Michaels, a young up and coming businessman who has just inherited the house where Monica is hiding. Naïve and overwhelmed by what is needed to make the house livable, Harman is impressed by Monica's vast knowledge of home remodeling, and during a quick tour hires her on the spot. She finds herself pulled between the house and man she has come to love and making choices that secure a future for herself and her unborn child. Harman's over protectiveness threatens to destroy any chance of a future for them, and Monica wonders without the house project will there even be a future for her in Haman's life.
