The Flight Before Christmas

Los Angeles a few days before Christmas. Instead of moving in with Brian, her boyfriend of one year as was the plan rather than go home to Connecticut for the holidays, Stephanie Hunt is dumped, Brian believing the decision to move in together being a band-aid solution to their relationship problems. This last minute proclamation not only ruins Stephanie's Christmas, but leaves her homeless as her roommate Kate has already rented out her room. So she makes a last minute decision to head home for the holidays so as not to wallow in her anger alone. For two years, Michael Nolan has had a long distance relationship with his girlfriend of five years, Courtney Carson, he flying back to Boston once a month to be with her. If he can find the perfect ring, he is planning on asking her to marry him, more as what seems to be the next logical step in their relationship and as a measure to convince her to move to Los Angeles. Stephanie and Michael's initial meeting at LAX is an antagonistic one, which continues as seat-mates on the same flight to Boston. Overhearing the other's telephone conversations, Stephanie and Michael learn of the other's personal situation, about which each seems to have a clearer understanding than what is happening in his/her own life. Their time together is extended as their flight is rerouted to Bozeman, Montana due to weather issues, which threatens them making it back to New England in time for Christmas. While they try to steer clear of each other, others can see what they initially can't, that the other may truly be who they are looking for in life. Beyond some help by a guardian angel named Noel, Stephanie and Michael may have to look deep into their hearts to come to that same understanding.
