Ted and Diana Rutherford’s dreams of a peaceful retirement go up in flames along with their furniture store one fateful night.
Insured for the goods on consignment, but not the building itself, they desperately answer an employment ad in the Denver Post and find themselves managers of an aging apartment hotel in downtown Denver. Once a glorious fixture of Capitol Hill, Hartwick House now stands forlorn over a street forgotten in the name of progress.
Faced with new challenges, scandalous secrets, and tenuous relationships, Ted and Diana must begin anew.
Can they really start over and maintain their hope when the future looks so grim?
