When Joy finds a destination to a town called 'Hope', she takes it as a sign and buys a ticket. The plane crashes but Joy survives and walks away from the ruin hoping that no one will know that she was even aboard the chartered flight. Somehow she makes her way through the Northwestern forest and finds a charming yet run-down fishing lodge, owned by Daniel O'Shea, a handsome divorcee and now widower, and his young son Bobby.

Joy forms a strong bond with little Bobby and finds herself attracted to the laconic and brooding Daniel. But just as Christmas Eve approaches, Joy is ripped away from her adventure and awakens from her post plane crash coma. She has a hard time believing that it was all a dream.
