Carolyn Reynolds's health problems force her to sell her wildly successful company to avoid scandal if the truth comes out. Her mother's tragic hit-and-run death plus day-to-day business pressures have overwhelmed her. Her aunts' solution to relieve Carolyn's maladies only make matters worse. The dilapidated fixer-upper mansion, Cass, Muriel, and Bee, gift her only comes with more stress-filled problems.
First, two scared teenager vagrants with a baby with nowhere else to go add to meeting the other two lot owners: an ex-con contractor trying to get the job to rebuild Bayshore and a pastor trying to lessen Carolyn's problems. Despite initial reservations, Carolyn comes to care about them all, as her own past comes back to haunt her. Her search for her mother's killer has led someone to renew a dangerous interest in Carolyn's life.
The two other Bayshore tenants have their own problems. Contractor Shealds Jackson hopes to prove he's really a good man after a stint in prison tarred his name. Pastor Peter Allred aims to move on from a violent incident in his past. Both men will grow closer to Carolyn as murder and mayhem threaten to destroy, not rebuild, their lives.
