Coming home for Christmas is a time-honored family tradition. Seeking refuge from persistent press, disgraced national news anchor Tom Snow reluctantly returns to his roots in Evergreen Lake. His biggest problem should be old friends and a bitter family. Little does Tom know, up-and-coming journalist Kamrie Kole has just caught wind of his return. Seeking to make a name for herself, Kamrie uncovers secrets the whole town has whispered about for twenty years.
