As Christmas approaches, Ashley Durreau and Scott Briggs have both just arrived in Idaho Falls, in some ways the last place they wanted to be, not to mention having just unexpectedly left the person they were supposed to spend Christmas with. A local girl, Ashley is a commercial real estate agent in New York City, and aside from spending time with her loving family—her parents who have sacrificed so much in their lives to raise her up in the big city—Ashley has been trying to leave Idaho Falls behind, thanks in part to her parents' sacrifice. With a recent career setback, she'd prefer to return to New York City to get her career back on track. Scott has just been traded to play for the local junior hockey team, the Idaho Falls Fighting Trout. The son of a player expected to be inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame this year, Scott dreams of making the NHL himself to live up to his father's legacy. But at thirty-two, a decade or more older than all his teammates, his time is running out, especially since he must be called up to the Boise team before the NHL is even possible. Scott ends up living in Durreaus's guesthouse while in town, and while Scott simply wants to spend more time on the ice with the goal of getting out of Idaho Falls as quickly as possible, Coach Jensen emphasizes that to do that, he must be a good team player, which means participating in community activities as part of the team in the hockey-crazy town, especially at Christmas. As Ashley and Scott spend time together working toward those stated goals, each of them may realize that those goals may not be what they truly want, but are just expectations they placed on themselves as they begin to fall for each other.
