The hopeful spirit of the holidays. Messages from beyond. Coincidences too obvious to ignore. These are reasons to believe in the magic of Christmas. But can two men, both born on Christmas Day, find their love for the holidays after having their hearts broken?

Chip runs a mercantile in a small town named Missile. Chip is all too familiar with the pain of loss. An only child who has lost his entire family, he faces his second Christmas alone, one year after his boyhood best friend and life partner unexpectedly left him.

Van lives and works in Seattle. Despite his ex leaving him for another man one year ago, and just two weeks before Christmas, he decides to make a big change this holiday. His love for Christmas and a message from the universe motivate him to shake up his life and begin a journey to find love again.

During one of life’s strange coincidences, a chance meeting with his ex-partner’s new man, he’s advised to stop in Missile to buy affordable gas. When he learns his ex’s new partner is from Missile, his curiosity and that message from the universe make him unable to resist a visit.

It’s there, in a town with no lodging and during a once in a decade snowstorm, that Van finds himself without a place to stay. Coming to his rescue? The owner of the town’s mercantile, a man named Chip.
