Plot
Chelsea Simms is the good-hearted brand strategist for The Nice List, a popular dating app. Based on how you swipe on potential matches, the app puts the person in either the nice list of the naughty list.
When Chelsea discovers that the app has given her magical powers, she begins to use her new ability to make all the "naughty" people in her life learn how to be good again. Is it too much power for one woman? Possibly.
And so, when the app goes awry, Chelsea's neighbor, Fisher, a kindly man who has always had a crush on Chelsea is magically added to the naughty list by mistake. It then becomes a race against time for Chelsea as she tries to set things straight for Fisher and herself just in time for Christmas Eve.
