Abby makes her way as a photographer but has not managed to break through. Her best friend, Josh, has been hitchhiking around the world taking pictures but comes home before Christmas and says he's done traveling. Before Christmas, Abby also receives a Christmas calendar from her grandfather. It is mechanical and releases a small figurine every day. The figurines keep getting connected to what happens next each day and Abby begins to believe that the calendar is magical.
The film is a bit uneven but they make it to a good ending.
