Caren and her husband Nic have a good track record as home flippers but their first attempt at building a house from the ground up is causing them serious problems. The couple have only just started construction on the elaborately designed, luxury four-bedroom house but Sean is shocked to learn that it's already $100,000 over budget. And Caren, an award winning interior designer seems reluctant to compromise on any of her big ideas or her costly finishes. Sean sets out to get the project back on track but teaching Caren to build for profit not just for prestige, proves a real challenge.
Marcello, an ambitious young developer with a checkered past is racing to make a fortune in Chicago Real Estate. His latest project, an abandoned, one hundred year-old Graystone is under the threat of demolition. He desperately needs an injection of cash and expertise to help save it. Sean thinks the house has enormous potential and there's a big profit to be made from flipping it. However, he soon discovers that this beast of a renovation may be the least of the challenges he must contend with. Marcello has thirteen other ongoing renovations. If Sean can't get him to focus and change his business strategy, their partnership and the house could both be in peril.
