Marissa Dalton thought she had it all. A perfect career as a surgeon in Toronto General Hospital. A loving boyfriend who always seems to make her smile. And the perfect life in downtown Toronto. But all that changed the day she arrived home early after a long shift at work to find her boyfriend in bed with her best friend just 24 days before Christmas. Heartbroken and furious, Marissa, is quick to kick her cheating ex to the curb and tries to throw herself into her work when her mother suggests she comes home for Christmas. Reluctantly, Marissa agrees. What she thought would be a month of family time and healing her broken heart turns out to be a whirlwind romance when Marissa finds herself kissing the talk of the town's new carpenter Cadence Kingsly underneath the mistletoe. Will Marissa give up her big city life and return to her town for Cadence, or will she return to Toronto when the clock strikes twelve New Year's Day?
