Maahi hasn't celebrated Christmas since she lost her husband and the father of her two kids, Hazel and Harsh, on the night of Christmas Eve. Moving to a small French town in the Alps, was meant to be a part of moving on - to build a life with her two kids and lock herself inside the walls built out of her children's desires and demands and her hectic schedule.
Except, when Arjun - her colleague, and unfortunately, also the man she's terribly attracted to - comes knocking on her doorstep on a snowy Christmas Eve, bringing her kids presents and sharing wine with her in her kitchen, Maahi suddenly finds the walls around herself crumbling down. And so, when he asks her to promise him a night when she'd let go, she agrees. After all, he's leaving the town on Christmas morning to spend the rest of the holidays with his family.
But then, the night unfolds into something unexpected, and Maahi suddenly finds herself wishing for things she cannot have. Can she really trust her heart again, especially when she knew what it led to?
