Bethany Cain (Jill Wagner) is a talented interior designer based in Boulder and is on the cusp of making it big after the success of her recently released book.
Then
a national home decor magazine wants to cover a makeover contest for their New
Year edition, which will get her extra publicity, but she has only the three
weeks before Christmas, to choose the winner, and complete the project.
Bethany
receives a touching letter from thirteen-year-old Zoe Oliver (Lauren McNamara)
who wants the makeover for her widowed father Grant Oliver (Victor Webster) and
selects her as the winner.
However
he is resistant because he and his wife Rebecca bought the house shortly before
she passed and wants to preserve his memory of her in the house.
He
eventually relents and agrees to do it for Zoe, but eventually resists all her
suggestions, but Bethany is slowly able to break through the wall that Grant
has erected around himself and make him open up to new ideas, and in the
process Grant and Bethany start to fall for each other during the makeover but
will he finally open his heart romantically to someone other than his wife
Rebecca.
