Andrea is in love… with her work that is. At twenty-six, she’s building a career in the music industry writing jingles for Fulson Sound. It’s December and the magic of Christmas is swelling in the heart of her hometown of Redford. The holidays look different this year as she struggles to balance her work and home life. This is her favorite time of year, but the usual traditions she enjoyed with her parents are in the past. Fighting for the Creative Director position, a huge step up from jingle writer, Andrea must organize the annual Angel Wings Choral Festival to prove to her boss that she’s ready for the responsibility. Enter Lucas, a shy but charming schoolteacher who is new in town and loves Christmas almost as much as Andrea does. Neither of them want a relationship, but Lucas’ actions tell Andrea another story. Could he be the inspiration she’s been looking for? Their friendship blooms, but thanks to a meddling mother, they both question what they truly desire from one another. With the festival quickly approaching and Andrea caught between a man and her career, will she discover the happy ending she deserves?
