In the bleak midwinter, Theo Wescott is watching his girlfriend Dani slip away again. The anniversary of her dad's death has turned the holidays into a minefield. The race is on to find the perfect present that will bring her comfort and joy. But getting her best friend's help with his elaborate plan threatens to derail his relationship with Dani.
