Plot Synopsis

For as long as she can remember, Emma Parkers and her dad have competed as an ice sculpting team in Westford, New Hampshire's annual Christmas Festival of Ice. She returns to Westford following law school to partner in her mom's law practice. After discovering that Westford's annual ice sculpting contest has been cancelled due to lack of funding, Emma takes it upon herself to raise the $20,000 needed to reinstate it. In so doing, she reignites her passion for this hometown tradition but also begins to realize that practicing law might no longer be her dream. After meeting local Christmas tree farmer Nick Claiborne, something else is awakened in her and, even though Nick tries to hide from her his talent for ice sculpting, she discovers he is an amazing artist and encourages him to participate in the competition. What started out as friendship is quickly growing into something more, something Emma has always hoped for but has been reluctant to embrace. When her dad, who has overheard Nick and Emma talking and realizes that they should team up for the competition, drops out of the competition, Emma and Nick become the team to beat. With Nick encouraging her to follow her passion, just as Emma had encouraged him to do, Emma must break some surprising news to her mom. Still not certain of what she wants to do with her life professionally, Emma knows for certain what she doesn't want to do, and also knows that whatever she decides, it will be in Westford, with Nick at her side.
