A romantic comedy set at Christmas time. After a passionate night encounter with billionaire Hayden Moore leads to an accidental pregnancy, Amelia agrees to carry the baby to term, signing a contract promising to give up rights to the baby after its born. She agrees to move in with the Moores during her pregnancy, hoping that they will be able to give the child a life that Amelia was never able to have. But when Hayden’s movie star ex-girlfriend, Jennifer, moves back to town to become more involved with Sophia, Hayden and Jennifer’s 8-year old daughter, Amelia struggles to let go of the bonds she’s formed with the Moore Family
