The words "winter break" whisper like a soft breeze in the mind of hardworking teacher Faith Quinn as she sets her holiday up for success. A blazing fire, a hot cup of chocolate, a warm buttered bowl of popcorn, and all her favorite movies ready to stream her into a Christmas torpor, life couldn't be better.First friend, then foe, shows up to derail the best-laid plans. Craig Bennett may be welcome, but when Aaron Hanson, her least favorite uncle of her current favorite student, crashes his car in front of her house, well, some things in life can't be tolerated. "Please take him with you," Faith implores Craig, but the governor's storm directives prevent any ride-alongs during emergencies. Through a calamity of errors and not an insignificant amount of blood, Faith and Aaron are forced to spend the next few days battling mutual disdain and a Nor'easter, while rescuing enough animals to qualify for a ride on Noah's Ark.Boredom, ego, and late-night carolers clash before all hell breaks loose and the sky falls as their true feelings are revealed. Life has a funny way of putting you where you need to be, but when Aaron skedaddles the moment the storm subsides, can Maeve find it in her heart to believe Christmas miracles still happen?
