Synopsis

It's the approach to Christmas in New York City. Olivia Bennett and Edward Taylor, a former ballerina turned dance teacher and a small business consultant respectively, have long taken themselves out of the dating market, Olivia who has not felt ready to date since the passing of her husband Nathan eight years ago - her adolescent daughter, Maeryn, who doesn't remember her father - and Edward who is always traveling for work, he considering himself technically homeless and thus not in a position to devote himself to any one person in any one place, his attempts to do so in the past always having resulted in failure. They meet when they both come to the rescue of a poor, elderly woman named Gertrude, who loses her $80 - four twenty dollar bills - which was her Christmas Club money for Christmas gifts. Over the course of the holiday season, they, who admit to themselves that there was an immediate attraction and connection, constantly run into each other, often in relation to Gertrude's missing twenty dollar bills. Their initial meeting and subsequent meetings may not have been as accidental as they believe. Both Olivia and Edward have to decide for themselves if they are ready to open themselves up to a relationship. With the "Christmas Club" stars in alignment for that to happen, it may all come to not with regard to Olivia, who learns from her boss, Miss Maggie, the dance school owner, that she is retiring due to health reasons and selling the property where the school is housed. In the process, not only the school's Christmas Eve dance recital, but Olivia's professional future in its entirety - teaching dance her passion - are unwittingly negatively impacted by Edward's latest client and thus by association Edward himself. —Huggo
