Designer and builder Danielle Bryk is thrown into the hardest project of her career -- helping her sister and brother-in-law build their lake house. The build is just past the framing stage, and Danielle must see it through to the end in just four months.
With only six weeks until the Christmas deadline, Danielle's list of things to do, including the flooring and kitchen cabinetry, is endless. The weather turns cold and threatens to delay the project, and her sister gets sick and must be hospitalized.
The deadline is two weeks away and Danielle feels the stress when a water pump malfunctions and leaves the house with no running water. She races against the clock to create a warm, cozy home before the entire family shows up for the big reunion.
