Transported back to 1985 with merely two hundred dollars in her pocket, a sharp-witted modern woman finds herself penniless when a con artist tricks her out of her remaining funds. Refusing to succumb to panic in an unfamiliar era, she hunts down the thief, recovers her money, and surveys the booming frontier of private commerce. Recognizing an untapped market, she sets her sights on fashion retail.
Armed with contemporary trend forecasting and aggressive marketing tactics, she opens the township's very first independent clothing boutique. Corrupt municipal rivals and skeptical wholesalers try to sabotage her inventory, but her commercial savvy outsmarts them at every turn. As romance sparks with an honest local partner, she fights to cement her growing retail empire against vintage prejudice.
