Ten years ago, Alisa Rodriguez was a high school dropout working in a dead-end job. Now, thanks to a tough-as-nails mentor and a GED, she's living a life she never thought possible. She has a professional job in downtown Detroit, is going to school for graphic design, and she's bought her first place. Her new basement has a lot of potential, but needs the help of designer Erica Pedrosi to make it the hip and cool hangout that Alisa deserves.
