One day, on her way to work and fresh from her latest poor decision that she called "boyfriend," she encounters the reserved architect Adrian Esslingen. He's everything she isn't, and everything her last two boyfriends weren't - content and put together. But will this architect want someone that personifies "fixer-upper?" In spite of herself and despite her past, Erika makes a go for him and hopes that her plans meet his approval. It's her last chance to renovate her life, or else she'll wind up in another gut job.
