Five days before Christmas, an old flame of the Sheriff's returns to Saddle Creek, Wyoming to convince him to run away with her and take all his wife's money with them. She disappears quickly and, in her haste, leaves something behind.

While searching for Christmas decorations in the attic of the Travis B&B, the owner, Deputy Ronnie Travis Rogers finds a hidden trunk that belonged to her late Aunt Sally. What she finds inside is a mystery that could change the entire dynamics of her family. Will she pursue it? Or keep it a secret?

After years of working on Christmas Eve, the Sheriff is finally able to attend the annual Christmas Eve celebration with his three best friends who he considers brothers and their growing families at Rosie's Diner. Mitch and Ronnie return to their home with the promise of love, joy and happiness; the true meaning of Christmas.
