Christmas romance about long-separated high school sweethearts who find each other again after 20 years. She's never married and is a smalltown mayor; he's a widowed doctor and single dad who's come back to visit his father for the holidays and is pressured to stay because there's need for a local doc.
Not for scares or brutality.
