Tristan is a success-oriented workaholic, who has risen to the top of his career and the corporate ladder through his own sheer hard work and innate sense of efficiency and for some undecipherable reason known only to him,he never gets affected by the holiday spirit, he thinks it's all an elaborate waste of time. He is forced by his friends to unwind at their holiday resort because one of his friends is going through a rough breakup and it's so clear that he doesn't find it the least bit entertaining and would much rather be at work, causing his friends to play some elaborate prank on him.Finally free from the distractions of his overbearing workload, he finally gets a chance to live in the moment and that's when he bumps into Kate, the effervescent owner of a nearby coffee shop, sparks a flicker of intrigue. Kate embodies the Christmas spirit Tristan that loathes, yet their undeniable chemistry throws him for a loop. Weeks later, Tristan approaches Kate with a surprising proposition. Despite their opposing views on holidays, work-life balance and basic general life principles and their initial cutthroat attitude towards each other (enemies to lovers trope), an undeniable attraction simmers. Tristan, motivated by a desire to find something real grapples with his feelings for Kate. Kate, a free spirit who values joy over mindless hustle (motivation), finds herself drawn to the unexpected vulnerability beneath Tristan's gruff exterior. Will this grumpy fellow allow himself to be seduced by someone with whom he is never on thesame page? Will their off-limits connection survive the clash of their personalities?
