Young "mod" duo Shannon Stanfill and Joe Gray are ready to trade in their turn-of-the-century apartment in Chicago's trendy East Village for a new condo in the emerging neighborhood of Uptown. They are looking for a two-bedroom, two-bath condo for themselves, their three cats and their chocolate lab, Katie. Their taste is modern, but their budget is modest. They turn to real estate agent Dani Schlesinger to help them with their search.
