Trama

After her breakup with a famous tech entrepreneur makes national headlines, Sarah returns to her uncle's ranch to escape the spotlight where she crosses paths with a Hollywood actor who's looking to prepare for an upcoming role.

Sarah Davis heads to her uncle's struggling ranch to escape New York and the spotlight from a recent breakup. Returning home for the first time since her aunt passed, complications arise when Graham, an entitled Hollywood star, arrives at the ranch to prepare for his next film. As Sarah and Graham start to bond, Sarah may get more for Christmas than she bargained for.

Sarah McKinney, an interior designer at an upscale Manhattan hotel, decides to return to her Rock Creek, Colorado home, the McKinney Ranch, for Christmas, important this year partly to get away from the media spotlight following the very public break-up with her tech giant boyfriend, Eric Gold, who left her for an actress, and partly to spend time with her Uncle Roy McKinney following the death of Roy's wife, Sarah and her brother Cody McKinney's Aunt Beth, Roy and Beth who raised the pair in the absence of the their own parents. Under the circumstance of Aunt Beth, Cody has stayed at the ranch forgoing his own dreams of going to Hollywood to get into stunt work specifically dealing with horses. Sarah and Cody eventually learn that Uncle Roy is thinking about selling the ranch, their home, meaning this could be their last Christmas together there. While Cody has a fascination with Hollywood, Sarah has an antipathy toward actors in general, not only because of Eric leaving her for one, but that her and Cody's mother was one, she traveling for acting jobs the reason she was never around and why Roy and Beth raised her and Cody. So when Hollywood actor Graham Mitchell stumbles by wanting to stay at the ranch, despite it being closed for the season, Sarah is more than wary. A city slicker, Graham wants to experience what it is like to be a true rancher in preparation for his next movie role. The McKinneys decide to let Graham stay for the Christmas season only if he truly does live like a ranch hand, which means living in the bunk house in the barn, and does the ranch work under Sarah's direction, in addition to helping Sarah with Rock Creek's annual Christmas parade, which was usually organized by Beth, and which was canceled this year until Sarah at the last minute decided to organize it to maintain the Christmas tradition. While Uncle Roy is all right with the parade despite the painful memories associated to Beth, he has not OK'd proceeding with the annual Christmas tree lighting on the McKinney property which traditionally followed the parade. Graham ends up not only surprising Sarah in taking his Rock Creek commitments seriously, but the two start to fall for each other. While Graham eventually opens up to her about his own antipathy for Christmas leading to why he is all right with having a working Christmas with total strangers, Sarah has to see if she can overcome her own negative feelings of being romantically involved with yet another celebrity, it which may be even more difficult when Nicole Collins arrives on scene, she Graham's costar in the upcoming movie project and if the rags are to be believed Graham's current girlfriend.—Huggo
