When Brighton's legendary glass Christmas Star vanishes, Allegra Livingstone, the new town administrator, is determined to find it before the Christmas Eve Lighting Ceremony. This job is her second chance after a botched event that cost her her reputation and shattered her confidence. She can't fail.

Desperate for a solution, Allegra turns to Fynn Sheridan, an old friend who is a glass artist, and asks him to recreate the Star. Having loved Allegra since college, Fynn agrees to help her.

As Allegra keeps looking for the original Star, she has to sort through motives and misdirection to get to the truth. All the while, she must navigate her mother's surprise visit, along with all the emotional baggage she brings with her, and the unexpected rekindling of her feelings for Fynn.

He wants a second chance, but she's already bailed on him once and his heart is still healing. She's lost everyone she cares for and breaking down the walls of fear will take belief.

When secrets surface, Allegra has to reevaluate who she is and make an impossible choice: act for the good of the town or her own heart.

With time running out and her newfound confidence waning, it really will take nothing short of a miracle to save Christmas and claim her second chance at happiness.
