Bing Crosby's "I'll be Home for Christmas" provides the backdrop as Maggie Culpepper and William Dove proclaim their undying love to one another. But with the U.S. at war and Maggie's personal home front under attack, the Southern belle impetuously joins the WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service). When Christmas draws near and Maggie finds herself miles and miles away from her Georgia hometown and her beloved William, will she realize that, no matter where she spends Christmas, home is where her heart is?
