Maya Jackson is a wedding dress designer for a renowned New York bridal gown brand. She's overstressed trying to please her boss, the one and only Laura Whitcomb, but she now has a chance to become a senior designer, which would fulfill her mother's wishes for her. When her widowed father breaks his hip, she is forced to take unpaid time off to stay with him in South Carolina. In order to pay her her bills while she's with her father, she takes a temporary job at a small dress shop in Charleston, which is run by Derek Sullivan. Derek has his own problems. His beloved wife was killed in a church shooting a couple years prior and his mother, the owner of a bridal shop, has passed away too. He's in danger of losing the business. Can the dresses that Maya designed with a blend of design elements from her Filipino and West African ancestries—but which weren't acceptable to Laura Whitcomb—attract business to Derek's shop, or will he be forced to sell it? Meanwhile, can Derek make peace with his twelve-year-old daughter who's living with her own pain since the losses of her mother and grandmother?
