With Christmas Eve just around the corner in bustling New York, five lonely and sad strangers find their lives inadvertently intersect, against the backdrop of Manhattan's snow-capped streets. Rose, the powerful but frail career woman, sadly realises that her loveless life pivots around her job and her ailing elderly mother--while the alluring secretary and wife-to-be, Nina--is on the brink of calling off her imminent wedding, utterly exhausted from the insecurities and the jealousy fits of her cop fiancé, Mike. Then, Artie, the lonesome widower, develops a strange fixation on an improbable partner, as young Jules is left with a single but precious childhood memory of Christmas. All of them need love. Will they find it this Noel?—Nick Riganas
