We're first introduced to the life of Icyline Williams, who is well on her way to becoming a successful author. She has a daughter that she favors, Charline, and a Step-daughter she despises, Maria.
It's one week before Christmas and Icyline has landed another contract for her latest book. Charline is also ecstatic that the most handsome guy in town is throwing a massive party on Christmas Eve with the intention of meeting his ideal mate.
As Christmas draws nearer, Icyline helps Charline to prepare for the big night; James, the father Maria thought was dead, shows up and sets off a stage of events that will eventually lead to Maria's deliverance and James return to God.
