Declan Groves is a CPA in New York City. His adult life is dictated by routine and monotony. The need to express himself, in ways his career and crippling shyness have never allowed, leads Declan to becoming an amateur stop-motion filmmaker. The problem with this—Declan is now in love with the Wandering Artist Studios receptionist, Shota Watanabe. Shota has always had a smile and engaging comment ready for Declan, but even if it's more than casual politeness, Declan hasn't been able to get out more than a tongue-tied sentence at a time. And a man like Shota surely has no intention of waiting forever.

So when an unexpected change to Declan's daily schedule during Christmastime throws the two together outside of the studio, it might be the catalyst needed to explore what's been unspoken between them. But if they're to have a future, Declan needs to find a way to tell Shota how he feels before the magic of the holidays is behind them.
