19 year old Zara Greene - a hopeless romantic whose only Christmas wish is to finally find love - volunteers at the local mall to help get the Christmas decorations into place, but her incorrigible carelessness leaves her falling for; or in this case, on, a blue-eyed passerby.
Cameron Knight, notoriously known for his knack of being extremely vindictive, agrees to let Zara make it up to him. Completely oblivious to Cameron's reticent intentions, Zara takes him to all her favourite places - including the Year End Carnival, held annually to raise funds for charity - hoping he'll come like it as much as she does, thus eventually forgiving her.
Will Cameron stay his spiteful and unreasonably vengeful self? Or will he just end up falling for Zara, as she did him?
This is a story on how the spirit of Christmas, mixed with the odd circumstances of life, ignites a spark between two people, faster than you can say, "Merry Christmas!"
The question is, will those embers turn to flame?
