According to the press release, the story revolves around Jess Waters. She is an accomplished violinist who has lost her passion for music. Jess has been invited to perform at the Vienna Music Hall's prestigious Christmas Eve concert. On the other hand, Mark Olson is a diplomat in Vienna and a widowed father of three, whose job is constantly keeping them moving.

Jess arrives in Vienna two weeks before her show, which gives her time to visit her friend Tori Voigt. Tori is Mark’s cousin and the children’s nanny. When Tori gets a chance to sell her crafts in a Christmas market, she asks for Jess’ help with the children.

After some initial hesitance, Jess quickly bonds with the children and they also inspire her to rediscover for her love of music. Set against the backdrop of Christmas, will Jess and Mark find a way to be together? You have to wait this Saturday evening to know the answer.
