With just days before Christmas and a looming manuscript deadline, romance novelist Izzi (Ali Stroker) retreats to the cozy Antler Lodge in wintry Silver Springs to finish the draft of her newest romance novel and overcome her writer’s block while still enjoying her favorite annual vacation. Editor and BFF Mila (Kim Nelson) urges Izzi to find ways to make her romantic hero, Desmond, more grounded and real, as she thinks he’s become too idealized, rendering the stories predictable and no fun to write. Izzi struggles to implement the note… until she arrives at Antler Lodge to find the new owner, Matt (Daniel Di Tomasso) bears a striking resemblance to Desmond.
