🌟 Plot / Premise

Here’s what the story is about:

Joy is a fashion designer in New York whose work isn’t getting the recognition she deserves—her boss takes advantage of her ideas. She’s also unlucky in love. Encouraged by her friends, she follows her crush, Colton, to Colorado hoping for some holiday magic. But things go awry: a major revelation, a snowstorm, and Joy ends up stranded. At her lowest point, she meets Ridge, and that encounter shifts her perspective on both love and life. Black Girl Nerds+2Rotten Tomatoes+2
