Three sisters reunite in their hometown of Natchez, Mississippi at Christmas after a long time apart. They’re surprised to discover their late father had planned one last scavenger hunt for them to find the family’s wooden wishing bell, a beloved, annual holiday tradition when they were young. As they search for clues in the days leading up to Christmas, the trio visits local childhood haunts around Natchez that hold special meaning for them. In the process, their sisterly bond is rekindled and each learns an important lesson about what they want in life and in love.

After a snafu at the airport, Ashley is forced to rent a car in order to make it home to Seattle by Christmas. She ends up sharing the last rental car on the lot with Dash, a handsome stranger, also on his way to Seattle. As sparks fly between the two, we learn that Ashley’s airport “snafu” was actually because she is on the FBI’s ‘no-fly list,’ and Dash has a secret of his own that may halt their blossoming romantic road trip in its tracks.
