Meg meanwhile remained in their hometown, Hazelwood, working at the
family bakery.
But as the first Christmas, since the death of their Uncle Dave (Kevin

Meg travels to the city to cover at the restaurant while Jennifer and
Simon return to Hazelwood for the holiday.
Once they are home and experience the warmth of family and the joys of
a hometown Christmas, they become obsessed with putting on one last Christmas
screening at the Madison, Jennifer’s late Uncle's old, dilapidated movie theatre
before it is sold.
However, its sorely in need of repair so she turns to her high school
