The reluctant artist, Cleopatra Gardner, just wants to rent the basement apartment that Laura has promised her.

There are other complications as well, such as Nolene, Laura's best friend and co-owner of the business, who also has an attraction to Cleo. Will renting the apartment to Cleo create more trouble than it's worth?

Personals

Artist Morgan Dunbar works as a doorperson during the daylight hours so she can afford to practice her art at night. Amber, a wealthy, snooty resident of the building, acts like Morgan is invisible. She never thanks Morgan for any of the polite services she provides. She is always snapping fingers at Morgan, then pointing and saying, "Fetch this" or "Fetch that." One fateful day, Morgan reaches her breaking point. She finds Amber's attitude particularly unbearable after hailing her a cab during a busy rush hour and receiving nary a thank you for her efforts. Morgan puts Amber in her place, but Amber chooses to ignore Morgan's rant, slamming the taxi door in her face and nearly catching Morgan's hand in the process. Neither woman realizes what destiny has in store for them. Later on that day, an overwhelming disaster forces the two women to work to together as they try to make it out of Ground Zero alive. Will this tragedy cause Amber to stop ordering Morgan around and finally see her as more than Fetch this or Fetch that?
