In the holiday-obsessed equestrian town of Hurley Sparks, solitary bookstore owner Frankie is forced to co-chair the annual Christmas jubilee with Jared, a weary veteran struggling to find his footing. Their initial friction soon thaws into a tender romance, but their newfound happiness is pushed to the brink when a devastating fire destroys Frankie's shop and Jared's youth program loses its funding.
As their personal worlds crumble, they must decide if their love is a seasonal fluke or the very thing that will help them save the festival-and each other.
