Fresh off a break-up with her boyfriend, Alaina tosses caution to the wind and embarks on a cross-country road trip. The mission? To prove to her ex-boyfriend Cole that she can indeed be the spontaneous and fun woman he always desired.
Her grand plan ends with a surprise reunion on Christmas Day in New York City, but a blizzard and a broken-down car strand her in small-town Utah instead. That's where she meets Priscilla–the owner of a local bookstore, who's a tough nut to crack but kind at heart. With her car stuck in repair limbo after the snowbank incident, Alaina takes up Priscilla's offer of shelter, setting the stage for an unexpected friendship.
Through a series of snowy escapades meant to prove to Cole that Alaina is the girl he wants her to be, the chill between Alaina and Priscilla thaws. As Alaina ticks off her list of adventures that bring her closer to what she thought she wanted, she discovers that the road to love often veers off course.
