Astrid Parker has everything under control

For Astrid Parker, any kind of failure is unacceptable. She broke up with her fiancé a year ago and has been focused on her career ever since. When she gets an offer to take on the renovation of the Everwood guesthouse as an interior designer, she jumps at it immediately. And not just because the project is set to be broadcast on television as part of a popular show. For Astrid, Everwood is the perfect distraction from her failed relationships and an opportunity to finally earn the recognition of her domineering mother.

But Astrid didn’t count on Jordan Everwood, the granddaughter of the guesthouse owner and a carpenter who is supposed to be in charge of the renovation alongside Astrid. Jordan disagrees with every attempt at modernisation that Astrid suggests. Jordan is determined at all costs to keep her family's history as untouched as possible, especially when her own personal life is in shambles. And when Jordan's determination turns into a tiny bit of sabotage that gets on Astrid's nerves, the show's producers ask Astrid and Jordan to lean into their rivalry a little for the viewers' entertainment.

However, that rivalry can't gradually turn into something else entirely. Into possibilities that will force Astrid to decide what success means to her: the life and career that are expected of her… or the life she really wants?
