Chicago-based public school art teacher Clara Bingham is heading home to Fayetteville, North Carolina for the Christmas holidays to help her mother, Bonnie Bingham, at the family store, Candy Cane Confectionary, following the recent death of its founder and co-operator, Clara's paternal grandfather Jerry Bingham. Clara is sad not to have had the opportunity to say her goodbyes to him, he who largely shaped her life, especially his philosophy that one's wishes are what is in one's heart spoken aloud. Before heading to Fayetteville, Clara unexpectedly discovers two things: that her schoolteacher boyfriend, Blake, was about to propose to her, something that left her feeling fearful rather than joyous, and he not having done so only on circumstance of the time; and that despite being named one of her school's teachers of the year, she is being laid off at the end of this school year in cuts to the arts program and she not having seniority. The Binghams' collective stories are shaped by Fayetteville being adjacent to Fort Bragg: Jerry served in the Korean War, Clara's father/Bonnie's husband was killed in battle overseas, and Clara's first love, Logan, was also in the army. It wasn't the fact that Logan was shipped overseas that led to them breaking up, but that he had already acted on the unilateral decision to enlist before he told her. In Fayetteville, Clara runs into Logan, who, after reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, left active duty a year ago and is now a reservist. Clara and Logan end up spending much time together, partly in they sleuthing together in Clara's discovery of a journal Jerry kept when he was a young man, it talking about a love with an unknown woman named Martha, i.e. she not being who ended as Clara's grandmother. In a spark still existing between the Clara and Logan, what happens between them is affected by what they discover regarding Jerry's romance with Martha, and Clara learning about the story of Jay, the awkward young man Clara hired on a whim to help at the store.

For five years, Jenna Slade has been climbing the corporate ladder at Columbus, Ohio based Pugsley Hotels, which has properties worldwide catering primarily to the corporate clientele. Coinciding with she and her boyfriend Dave Jordan, an executive in the international division of the company getting engaged, Jenna gets her first overseas assignment: making a pitch to some potential investors in Dublin for Pugsley to take over a historic property in the city. Part of the reason for this assignment is that Jenna spent one year in an internship working at family owned and operated O'Hanlon's Inn in rural Dalkey outside of Dublin just prior to getting hired at Pugsley, and thus knows the Irish culture and how to frame the pitch to the Irish mentality. Part of Jenna's want to work in Ireland at the time was a family connection with her father Jack Slade, who has since passed, the two of them who fixed up some family property there. While in Ireland for this trip, Jenna plans to stop by Dalkey to catch up with her friend Kath, who worked as the baker at O'Hanlon's, and Patrick O'Hanlon, the O'Hanlon patriarch and her former boss. Who she does not expect to see but does are Kath's husband, Liam, but more importantly Patrick's son, Charlie O'Hanlon, the two men partners in a Celtic music bar band who have been on the road performing. Charlie was Jenna's boyfriend at the time. What Jenna does not know is that Charlie was ready to make a long term commitment to her five years ago, but didn't want to stand in the way of her professional opportunity in working for Pugsley. As Jenna spends time with all her old friends in Dalkey, they who are preparing for the annual Heritage Festival, usually O'Hanlon's busiest time of the year, what happens between Jenna and Charlie this second time around is not only affected by the engagement ring already on her finger from another man, but Jenna learning of the difficulties O'Hanlon's is currently facing in light of Patrick's want to retire, and the mission of one of the inn's guests, Molly, in wanting to reconnect with someone important from her past.
