After being kicked out at 18, Megan turned her back on her family. Years later, she discovers her missing parents left their house to her. Though abandoned for years, she finds it decorated for Christmas one night and meets Max, a homeless man who used to live next door.
Max had been secretly staying in the house, using the decorations to relive better times. Touched by his story, Megan invites him to spend Christmas with her family. She decides to renovate the house, giving Max a fresh start while creating new purpose for her childhood home.
