A train ride through snowy mountains will be magical, but a surprise awaits their arrival. Reed’s mother has her own date to Christmas dinner, a man who is not who he seems. To make matters worse, Reed’s snarky sister is itching for a fight, and Kate is not one to back down. Facing the greatest to their relationship, Reed and Kate will realize that life wants to pull them apart. Can their love keep them together?
