As soon as December first hits, Dakota Wells has a smile plastered on her face and hums Christmas carols. It's the only time her parents aren't fighting, anyways.
But that smile fades on Christmas Eve when her parents announce they will be spending the holiday in New York for work. Furious, Dakota flees her house and finds comfort at a coffee shop. Until, of course, she literally runs into a handsome stranger by the name of Matt Garner.
When Matt reveals he only has twelve hours to find his missing sister, Dakota offers her help and her wheels.
Suddenly she is thrown into a race against time with an almost stranger and no Christmas spirit.
But it seems this adventure may be able to bring some light back into both of their lives- and show them what could happen when snowflakes fall.
