The premise
Olivia, a professional gift-wrapping entrepreneur, finds herself stranded at a remote lodge during a delivery when a massive snowstorm closes the only bridge out of town. To her surprise, the lodge is being rented by her ex-boyfriend Ben, whom she hasn't seen since their painful breakup four years ago. As they work together to survive the storm and dwindling supplies, they must confront the career-driven choices that pulled them apart and decide if their holiday reunion is a second chance at love.
