Working alone at night in a recently closed hospital, an unstable woman witnesses events that may be connected to a string of murders.

On a snowy mid-December night in Covington, ME, a young woman not from town is brought into the hospital unconscious having been pulled from the icy river following an accident on the bridge. Physically all right with only a mild concussion and some minor scrapes and bruises, she nonetheless awakens with a case of retrograde amnesia, more problematic as no one in town knows who she is with all her possessions, including her identification, lost probably somewhere in the river. As Sheriff Crowley investigates, all that is known about her is that she ate at Masie's Diner that evening, Eleanor the waitress who pointed her in the direction of the hotel as a place to stay for the night as she was passing through town. Believing it important in case she came back for it, Eleanor also kept an advertisement the woman inadvertently left at the diner for a tree lighting ceremony on Christmas Eve in Charleston, SC, with the note "Please come -Mark" written on the back. After a week with no further idea who she is, "Jane", as she is now referred to, decides to check herself out of the hospital against the advice of Doctor Grant, her attending physician, and Sheriff Crowley, she believing the answers to her life waiting for her in the form of Mark at that tree lighting in Charleston on Christmas Eve. One of her attending nurses, Paul Bennett, offers to give her a ride in she having no other way to get there in having no ID, Charleston which would be en route to "home", his Christmas destination of Pickering, GA. As Jane and Paul try to make their way to Charleston for Christmas Eve, Jane seems to have a positive effect on everyone they meet, something that Paul can see as he starts to fall for her. What happens between them will be affected by their individual journeys. While Jane's path is more obvious in needing to regain her memory especially who Mark is in her life, Paul's is nonetheless as complicated as he is returning to a situation unlike he has faced thus far with his family, especially his brother and sister-in-law, Ben and Marissa Bennett, an issue with them the reason he didn't return home for Christmas last year.

For the second Christmas in a row, Boston bank employee Katherine Moss has decided that she and Will, her preteen son, will not go home to the military town of Provincetown, Virginia, for the holidays as the memories of her now deceased husband, musician Tyler Moss, who, like many in town, was once in the military but was killed in a traffic accident two years ago, are too strong there. Kat and Will now do not talk to each other about Tyler, each believing they shielding the other from the painful memories associated with his death.

At the last minute, Kat changes her mind, feeling it is indeed time to go home. Upon their return to Provincetown, Kat discovers not only that the annual Christmas Snowball Dance is still happening, but that Tyler's former band-mate in a trio, Maggie Rhodes, has resurrected the combo with someone that Maggie found by posting an ad through the VA Centre to fill in for Tyler, they to perform at the dance like they used to.
