Tanya (Mowry-Housley) is a police detective who is reluctantly paired with fellow detective Ryan (Campbell) to solve a string of recent heists that have taken place during high-profile holiday parties around town.

As Tanya and Ryan participate in the neighborhood’s holiday happenings to keep up appearances and crack the case, they become swept up by Christmas, begin to see each other in a new light and start to fall in love.
