Synopsis/Details
Louie’s Diner is hanging by a thread. With a broken boiler, a failing refrigerator, and mounting debts, owner Louie faces the heartbreaking prospect of shutting down just before the diner’s cherished Christmas Eve turkey dinner. His loyal staff—head waitress Ernestine, single mother Kim, and the determined chef Wu—rally to keep the business alive. Yet behind the scenes, Kim battles her own struggles: her ex-husband Mitch is pressing for custody of their daughter Mia, and two very different suitors vie for her attention. Derek, a charming and wealthy jewelry salesman, showers Kim with attention and a dazzling gift, while Ken, a hardworking handyman with a quiet resilience, offers sincerity and steady companionship. Torn between the allure of Derek’s promises and the grounded kindness of Ken, Kim struggles to navigate the growing tension. As the pressure builds, the arrival of a mysterious trucker, Chris, injects hope and unexpected magic into their lives. Through his presence, miraculous events begin to unfold, inspiring Kim, Louie, and the staff to rediscover their strength and belief in miracles. On Christmas Eve, as the diner comes alive with joy and the spirit of the season, Kim faces a life-changing choice about love, family, and her future.
