A lady who spent her life playing tennis professionally falls to the basement in an elevator. She struggles to know what to do with her life now that her career is over. A man who has left a very unhealthy marriage to a rich man's daughter is lost, as well. When the lady decides to open a book store she meets the man who comes to fix the elevator in the building she bought. Shades of fate that her staircase is narrow without a rail and she needs an elevator though she would prefer not to be in one ever again. When she finds she needs to remodel the store, the man has become a general contractor and takes the job. Their interaction daily must surely cause them to see they need what the other has to give.
