Holly just received her PhD in Astronomy before Christmas. Now her boyfriend, Adam, announces that he has to go to New York on business over Christmas. Having already told her parents in New York that she can't come home for Christmas, Holly decides to take the bus to New York (she's afraid of flying) to surprise both her boyfriend and her parents on Christmas. On the bus, she meets Luke, a cowboy who is also on his way to New York. When the bus breaks down, they continue in a rental car. It's shaping up to be an interesting Christmas.
In and of itself, a decent romantic film, but it is plagued with some gaps and you also have to buy into the romantic the charm of a hillbilly.
