Annie Brown's life could use some renovation. She's in trouble at work, her ex-boyfriend is stalking her, and she's just inherited a dilapidated Victorian home in Denver from her late mother, who hasn't quite moved out yet. So, the last thing Annie needs in her life is a man, but when handyman Mike Tolbert comes to fix her dishwasher, she lets him demo her doubt. Mike doesn't exactly need the distraction of a relationship himself. An Iraq War combat veteran, Mike suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. His wife took their daughter and left him to struggle with making ends meet. Yet something about Annie snags his heart and he finds he cannot walk away from her. As Mike and Annie get to know one another, they discover Annie's mother doesn't approve of their relationship, and she's willing to cross from the realm of death to that of the living to control her daughter. With the ghost of her mother haunting them, Mike and Annie face his PTSD, her troubles at work, and a deadly plot to steal her childhood home, all while fighting to keep their love alive.
