Joe and Alice McDoakes have twenty-six days until they are evicted from their apartment, with no alternative housing yet in sight. Alice convinces a skeptical and penniless Joe that with current financing, he can build a house for them for next to nothing. From the home designer to the loan officer to the completion bond broker to the lot appraiser to the building inspector, Joe finds that the process isn't as straight forward as Alice implied, while he signs his life away at every turn. But a little advice from someone in the know may make the process easier and the end product come to fruition... or not.
