After years of moving around for his military career, Terry now has a settled job in the Washington National Guard, so he and his wife Brenda are ready to buy a house in their adopted hometown of DuPont, Washington. She dreams of finding a Northwestern Contemporary that has a ground floor office with a large window, so she can feel a part of the community while she works at home. Terry wants an open concept home that allows him to vacuum all the rooms while never moving from one central spot. On this hunt, they may find that settling down will cause them to settle for something that may not meet their quirky wishes.
