In the starting, we meet Kim Fenech, an independent American woman living alone in New York. Following the storyline, Kim goes out for Christmas shopping to buy some gifts for her parents.
She went shopping in the Black Friday sale venue. There she ran into Theo, a young and handsome guy. She was impressed by his kind and generous behavior. He helped a poor lady to buy some presents, and Kim instantly felt an attraction to him. Kim approached him and thanked him for his kind attitude. The pair then shared a hearty conversation and left the venue with a smile.
Soon after that, they both started missing each other and believed their meeting at the shopping venue was no coincidence. They felt a strong urge to meet once again. But sadly, the only personal detail they shared was their first names. This gave them a tough time finding each other again.
After many failed attempts, Theo decided to go to the shopping center, where he met Kim for the first time. He explained to the store manager about his current condition and convinced the manager that he wouldn’t harm Kim in any way. He then got Kim’s number and blurted out his feelings for her. Finally, they met once again on Christmas eve and started their new life journey together.
