Jen (Natalie Clark) travels to the Highlands to spend Christmas at the
holiday home of the man in her life, unfortunately he is there with a wife and
child that she didn’t know existed.
Meanwhile Rob (Kenny Boyle) had made the same journey with the
intention to propose to his girlfriend, but when he does, she not only turned
him down but also said she wasn’t in love with him.
So, the two lovelorn strangers with contrasting personalities come
together at the railway station while waiting for a train that isn’t going to
come and no way to get home for Christmas, with the weather closing in.
With no public transport and unable to get a cab Jen steals her
boyfriend’s sports car and they head south in a car totally unsuitable for
winter driving in the Highlands.
They eventually get stuck and have to walk until they happen upon a
Hotel.
Where they join a motley crowd, Inn keeper (Sanjeev Kohli), guests
including (Sylvester McCoy, Clare Grogan, Frazer Hines and Caitlin Blackwood)
all sadly lacking in Christmas spirit.
Both betrayed by love and down on their luck Jen and Rob manage to
find solace in each other and they even manage to resurrect Christmas for
themselves and their companions.
