Renovation takes a sexy turn when a cute country girl rocks up with a tool belt and plans that throw the whole gay neighbourhood into disarray in this light-hearted lesbian romance.

When handywoman Jorgie's uncle leaves her an old house in Melbourne, it's a dream come true. Sure, 94 Gaylord Street is falling apart, and she has to deal with her uncle Bruce's eccentric friends thanks to his unusual Will.

But that's okay. She'll fire up her power tools and turn the dilapidated terrace house into a desirable inner-city pad. Then she'll sell up and head home to the country.

Jorgie hasn't counted on falling for cute neighbour Marta, who's found her heart-home among the tight queer-community of Gaylord Street. Between mugs of too-strong tea and Jorgie's lack of a working shower, the two forge a surprising connection.

But what happens when the renovation's complete? Can Jorgie really just toss aside her tool belt and saunter away?
