Erin Gilbert and her business partner Steve Sullivan are back in action as one of the most successful interior design firms in Crestview, Colorado. This time, they have jumped on the environmental bandwagon as part of an earth- friendly design contest that together they hope to win. The competition is fierce as natural fibers are put to the test in hopes of creating the ultimate green home that will dazzle even the most skeptical of critics. As luck would have it, Steve's former professor and lifelong mentor is selected as one of the three esteemed judges for the contest's panel. Despite his teacher's supposed expertise in the field, Erin has her doubts and starts to question Steve's lack of judgment which undoubtedly causes friction between the pair. While Erin and Steve try their best to work out their differences, the professor winds up mistakenly poisoning himself right before their very eyes. On a personal mission to bring the killer to justice, Steve starts pointing fingers despite Erin's obvious objections to his plight. With tension mounting, Steve's sudden interest in an attractive divorcée causes ripples in the designing duos on-again, off-again romance. Not willing to play second fiddle, Erin chooses to don her detective hat in hopes of putting the case to rest in order to get her long-overdue love life back on track. With the competition quickly coming to a head, Erin and Steve scramble to put the finishing touches on the design but are stopped dead in their tracks by a second murder which happens right under their noses.
