Lindsay is invited to a nice dinner by her boyfriend, Jason. On the way there, she is contacted and offered a dream job with a professorship at Yale and the chance to publish her book. During dinner Jason proposes to Lindsey but her new job offer gets in the way and she says no as he doesn't accept her going to Yale. Despaired, she goes out into a park where she meets a mysterious man driving a Christmas carriage with a horse. The next morning, Lindsey wakes up and it's three years later. She gets to experience what life was like without Jason.
This movie teeters on the edge of OK. One wonders why the ass (Jason) immediately can't be happy that Lindsay is getting the chance of a lifetime.
