A simple ride home for the holidays turns into a nightmare for strangers Katie Brandt and Alex Walker when light snow rages into a full-scale blizzard. The two college students find themselves stranded, and a vacant cabin becomes a safe haven from the storm. Under different circumstances, time alone with Alex would be the ultimate holiday gift, but Katie knows Alex is engaged, and she must hide her growing attraction. However, Alex harbors a secret that just might change this holiday from the worst Christmas ever, to the best.
