Description
Elijah has spent Christmases in Florida at Cocoa Beach ever since the incident on Christmas Eve when he was 17 that led him to despise the holiday with the desire to wipe away all memories and thoughts of the dreadful night 5 years ago. He's an aspiring photographer and blogger with a big heart, but he's not afraid to say what's on his mind and be an occasional prick. And he's definitely not intimidated when he meets the storm-like Charlie (Charlotte) Jacobs on the beach after a rather... awkward run-in. Charlie, who has just lost her job as a head chef, is deciding to say "fuck it" and spend the Christmas time somewhere there's no chance for snow. Somewhere she can wipe away all memories of her own traumatic experience from 5 years ago. She's overworked with a loud mouth that has the tendency to get her in trouble, and her hard exterior is almost impossible to break through. When Elijah and Charlie find out that they're one room away from each other in a cheap kind of ugly pink hotel, the only person in between them a party animal named River, they are led to discover their mutual hatred for the Christmas season. With both of their impossible personalities and competitiveness, they set off on a challenge between one another, egged on by River: Who can get in the most Christmas spirit by the 25th? But because of their mutual traumas around the holiday, Charlie's inability to acknowledge the past, and Elijah's tendency to dwell on the past, the challenge proves to get a bit complicated at times. So what happens when the competition takes a turn and Charlie and Elijah are brought closer together?
