Marley and Wyatt. Wyatt and Marley. The two of them couldn't be more different. Marley is shy, awkward and nerdy, the kind of girl who'd much rather stay in than go out. She was the type of girl who blended in, hating being the centre of attention. On the other hand, Wyatt is loud, outgoing, and the life of the party, the kind of guy who becomes friends with everyone he meets within minutes. Despite these differences, they are best friends. Correction, they were best friends. Everything changed the day Wyatt moved to LA to live out his dreams as a famous actor, promising Marley that they'd talk every day and he'd be back before she knew it... It's been five years, five years since Wyatt and his family bailed on Christmas. Five years since Marley and Wyatt have spoken to one another. He's now the biggest actor in Hollywood, and she's moved on, independently living in the city by herself. She's moved on from Wyatt, happy to never have to see him again. Well, that is until she returns home for Christmas. Marley's parents have a surprise for her, one that might involve the return of the family they once spent every Christmas with years ago-forcing Marley to come face to face with the last person she wants to see. Wyatt Oliver.
