Amanda, her young sister and her unconventional mother move to a small house in a remote village just before Christmas—and discover it lacks furniture and everything else they need. Charles, son of the local squire, bursts in to "rescue" them when he mistakes smoke from the clogged chimneys as a house fire. Although she finds him to be dolt, when she realizes his father is their landlord, Amanda coerces Charles into helping them. Impressed by her confidence (and her pretty face doesn't hurt either) and he willingly complies with her requests.
As the acquaintance between the families deepens, Amanda comes to realize that Charles may not be quite as bacon-brained as she assumed. When the former tenant returns to the neighborhood in a drunken rage on Christmas eve, she acts to protect her family and others at risk. But in the process, she unwittingly starts of chain of events that leads to unthinkable consequences. Together, she and Charles must conspire to prevent disaster on Christmas morning.
