Jess Waters (Sarah Drew) travels to the most festive place in the world, Vienna, where she is due to perform for the local Philharmonic at the Christmas concert.
Despite her
outward appearance she is dispirited and has fallen out of love with the Violin
and has decided that the Christmas Concert will be her swan song as her heart
just isn't in it anymore.
Once in
Vienna she bumps into diplomat Mark Olsen (Brennan Elliott) at an Austrian
Advent wreath lighting ceremony and she is thankful to find someone who speaks
English who can explain what’s going on and the couple enjoy a little innocent flirtation
before going their separate ways.
After some
Violin practice and dinner alone the two meet again at a lavish function
celebrating the upcoming event at which she will perform, and their eyes meet
across the rather large, crowded room but this meeting ends with him leaving
abruptly leaving her to doubt if they will meet again.
However, through
her friend Tori Voight (Alina Fritsch) she is formally introduced to him and
his children, Summer, Julian, and Isla (Allegra Tinnefeld, Oskar Ricketts and Abigail
Vollnhofer) at his diplomatic residence and he apologizes for his abrupt departure
and the relationships tentatively continues.
Later his
children take her out sightseeing through the city and she begins to bond with
them and offers them counsel for issues they can’t discuss with their father
and offering them help and encouragement.
Meanwhile
she is falling for their widowed father as they enjoy dinning, ice skating and
exploring the city together.
But for
them to make the next step he must evaluate his professional ambitions and
balance those with the needs of his children.
Jess, arrived
in Vienna to perform for the last time because she couldn’t find the
inspiration she needed to play.
After
meeting Mark and his children, she rediscovered her love for music, and hoped
her love for him would be returned.
