SYNOPSIS

Passion flares when determined, bubbly but man-shy Cheryl Rusk, star Millinery-Design undergrad, tumbles onto Accessory Merchandising Major Justin Chen's lap at Central Park’s ice rink's locker room. Culturally diverse Cheryl and Justin fast-track into marriage and business partnership with electrifying success, but their cherished 24/7 togetherness crashes when economic outlook, outrageous client demands, and design theft batters their business and marriage. Cheryl’s heart learns lessons: love and life re-design more than hats!
