A feel-good holiday rom-com about a bride-to-be whose detoured flight leads her to question her engagement and discover unexpected love with a cynical stranger.

A bubbly bride-to-be’s Christmas plans take an unexpected turn when her holiday flight to New York is detoured and she encounters a cynical bar manager who has lost his faith in love. As she scrambles to make it back east for Christmas—and plan her upcoming wedding—she begins wondering if she’s marrying the right man, and learns a surprising lesson about love.
