Sometimes a wrong turn can lead to unexpected places…

Twenty-seven-year-old Autumn Burke is an aspiring workaholic with no dating life whatsoever.

And that’s exactly how she likes it.

After being led on by her college boyfriend, she’s made it her priority to climb the ladder of her interior decorating company in Seattle and never looked back.

Not until this holiday season.

While calling her sister in Vermont to wish her a Merry Christmas, Autumn accidentally dials the wrong number.

Or maybe the right one…

When Elliot Lawson, resident of Shadow Birch, Vermont, answers his great-grandparents’ old rotary phone, he’s expecting to hear an older family member calling to wish him happy holidays.

He’s wrong.

Perhaps it’s the pressure he’s been under since inheriting his father’s café five years ago or just plain old Christmas loneliness, but he doesn’t want to hang up.

Chatting with a stranger living across the country doesn’t seem like a bad idea, and after spending hours on the phone with Autumn, it actually seems to him like an idea worth repeating…

What’s the harm anyway?

They’ll only be seasonal friends...
