Synopsis
Cassie have moved back to her hometown, Dickens, after trying it out as a director off Broadway in New York. Now she has been assigned to direct a local performance of “A Christmas Carol” on the 100th anniversary of the towns Victorian celebrations. When the lead role loses his voice she needs to find a replacement or the show will get canceled. The mayor comes up with the idea that she should try and convince the action movie star Jake who grew up in Dickens to step in. Cassie is not eager to do this as Jake and she have a history from their school days but she calls him. To her astonishment he comes back home to participate. It turns out he wants to show that he can act serious theatre to get a role outside his action-movie type casting. Now Cassie and Jake have to lock horns over the play and old feelings stir.
