It only took one woman to lead Patrick Stump to a life of misery. And the moment that woman left, he felt as if the fate was not on his side anymore. Patrick was then, at that moment, sunken into a depression no man could escape. He was no longer the sweet, sensitive man he once was-- he was now homeless, depressed, and drinking his feelings away with every drop of liquor he could get his hands on. Sometimes in time of need, you need a helping hand, somebody to support you, help you, guide you. And that's just what 26 year old Pete Wentz is here to do. After Patrick saved him, he made the promise to save Patrick. But maybe this could be much more than just a rescue mission...?
When a bachelor-style reality show centered around finding this year's Mrs. Claus comes to Charlie's small town, she is vehemently against the attention it brings, yet in the chaos of it all, somehow finds herself in the running as a contestant... and falling in love.
*****
In the weeks before Christmas, Charlie Duncan's small town finds itself the backdrop to the hit new reality show, Finding Mrs. Claus. And to spice up the drama, a handful of locals are thrown into the casting mix, including not only Charlie, but her best friend Ellie as well. While Charlie does everything she can to get tossed off the show (to no avail), and watches skeptically as Ellie truly begins to open up her heart, she can't help but feel a certain spark for the man behind the scenes - the show's producer, Noah Cyrus.
