Amanda (Julie Benz) is an Army Widow, who works as Curator at a struggling local museum, owned and run by Tom (Jay Brazeau) but with her hours at the Museum reduced she decides to rent out the room over the garage to cover her drop in her income.
But she is shocked when Master Sergeant Jim Mullins
(Michael Shanks) knocks on her door as she wasn’t aware she had let the room to
a soldier, which wasn’t ideal as she already found the season very difficult,
as it was on the Eve of Christmas when she lost her husband two years earlier.
Despite her misgiving she takes him in as he has just
returned from Afghanistan and was injured, it wasn’t until later that she
realises he is also a war hero.
Because of her loss she didn’t bother with
decorations or any of the trimmings in fact she didn’t embrace any part of
the season but together they help each other heal, her from a broken heart and he from
an injury to his leg, and they find true love along the way.
