After losing her husband, a single mother has decided to seize the day by building a dream home where she can launch her new culinary career. Mika goes big with a kitchen fit for a chef, but Brian encounters major obstacles before they can get to work.

A couple's bungalow near their son's university is too small for their family of five and too old to expand. They hire Brian and Mika to demolish the old house and use the clean slate to build a charming, modern dream home before the school year starts.
