Tying a single strand of holiday lights to their interlocked hands,
Cary and Jesse made their commitment to one another.
"I love you, Cary, and I want you to be my first and my last. Promise me, baby."
"I love you, too, Jesse. I promise, you will be the only one for me."
As they made their vows, their hopes were that one day they would be able to afford a big holiday tree with many strands of lights, each one signifying another year they'd been together.

Professing their young love, they believed nothing could separate them ... that is
until Cary's father takes a new job in Lanesboro, Minnesota,
which is a far distance from Monroe, New York when they don't have the means
to fly to see one another.

Will they survive time apart that adds up month after month?

If they can believe the words 'let love take you there,'
then maybe their hearts will find a way to one another once more.
