Noel lost her job and has been effectively blacklisted from the industry she built her career in. With few options left, she sells everything in her apartment and leaves the city. Her older sister offers a place to stay through the holiday season. What awaits in the small winter town is a specific pressure: a father with expectations she cannot seem to meet, a niece who deserves a good aunt, and the unanswered question of what she is actually supposed to do with her life now. The town's carpenter may have a perspective on that last question she was not anticipating.
