Christmas time has come at the saddened Boden residence as Honoria and her family and friends must say good bye to a man they all deeply love. Christmas two years before saw Darryl and his loving wife in the wrong place at the wrong time as Darryl got attacked by robbers at the gas pump and ended up in a coma afterward. Honoria's determination to keep her husband alive is taking its toll as friends and family plead with her to let him go. A court battle ensues and soon a date is handed down of exactly when Darryl's life support will finally be terminated. Can a stranger who happens by during a frightening winter storm hold the key to waking Darryl before it's too late, or will darkness unfold and consume his wife and loved ones for the holidays?

Darryl Boden, a middle-aged working man left broken in despair after the desertion of his wife Veronica and his two children, struggles to make his way without his family. But when young Honoria Barton crosses his path, his whole world turns upside down as he battles with himself to avoid history repeating itself. As well as the daring age gap looming between the two of them, Honoria has a dark past of her own to overcome as she and Darryl spiral into a deep love with one another. Can Darryl break through to a traumatized young woman and make her see life and love for how beautiful it can really be? Meanwhile, Veronica's jealousy catches up to the pair and soon Honoria finds herself caught between the dysfunctional family crossfire that is the broken Boden family. Darryl must now decide if he will fight to make a new life with his new love while sorting things out with Veronica and his children, or if he will take his wife of fifteen years back and rebuild the crumbled foundation of his marriage and family.In this compelling war of youthful compassion versus long-time familial bonds, a sacrifice must be made and a heart must be broken before everything crumbles away from beneath.
