Plot Synopsis

Vikki George runs the community garden, threatened by Chace Devine a developer who wants to replace it with condos. Determined to stop him, she goes to his office with a peace lily, hoping to help the businessman see green in a different way. While he's taken by Vikki's drive, Chace says the project will go on, notwithstanding her petitions or protests. She explains the garden was her dad's passion project before he died, and he reveals his father passed away when he was young, leaving him to take care of his mom. Wanting to prove he's not a villain, Chace takes Vikki to a construction site, where she sees how it's a source of pride to him and all the workers involved. But despite seeing the others viewpoint, they remain at an impasse. Unwilling to give up, she crashes the Mayoral Gala to ask the Mayor to declare the garden a landmark, and there she spots Chace, who asks her to dance. Though they're clearly enthralled with each other, Chace still lets his bulldozers roll and Vikki wants nothing to do with him. Hopefully he'll look to find a way to hurtle their impasse, before the bloom is off the rose.
