Despite her success, model Camryn Tate longs for something more. She’s lived a life of privilege, lacking for nothing, so why can’t she be content? As an outreach minister for an inner-city church, Trace Gardner serves the homeless in Seattle. Although the work is rewarding, he envisions providing life-changing opportunities for the destitute. One problem stands in his way—raising the funds needed for renovations on a building that will house new programs. One chilly December night, a tragedy connects Camryn and Trace, and the devastating experience spurs her into volunteering with his team. As they share a common mission, they provide more than food—they offer hope. But as Christmas Eve approaches and the two grow closer, secrets have the potential to break someone’s heart.
