In a small town, high-school dean Alana and her vivacious teenage daughter Samantha plan a holiday concert to save the school with the help of the new maintenance man, Army veteran Johnny, and his quiet son Max. But when a car accident leaves Sam in critical condition, Alana seeks Johnny's help, and Max makes a desperate decision that will forever bind their families together. All four must question their beliefs about sacrifice, family, and love, as well as what it means to be thankful for another Christmas.
