For sisters Samantha and Ella Mitchell, Christmas is the most precious time of the year, a time of togetherness, love and celebration. On this day, they strive to make up for everything they lacked so much on Christmas holidays as a child. But this year they will be buying gifts for an unexpected guest - their estranged mother, whom they have not seen for five years. When she calls unexpectedly and promises that this Christmas will be different, Samantha and Ella carefully agree to spend it together among the beautiful landscapes of the Scottish highlands.
