Sara Donovan, a twenty-year-old college sophomore with quite the imagination, is home in Annapolis on winter break. With time on her hands, she decides to venture into the kitchen to try her hand at baking and make some holiday cookies.

Little did Sara know that not only did disaster await her in the kitchen, but she would also stumble across something so spectacular it couldn't possibly be true. Could it?
