Plot Synopsis

Nikki Crandon is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. Whether she's singing the National Anthem or promoting her latest album, everyone knows who she is -- none more so than New Jersey high-school basketball coach and widower Chris Mitchell, who was her first love in high school. When Chris' 10-year-old daughter, Sophie, finds out her dad still has feelings for the singer, she takes matters into her own hands. With her 8-year-old brother, Jackson, in tow, she sets out to reunite the two -- and succeeds. After a paparazzo spots Chris and Nikki kissing goodnight in New York City, however, any hope of a private romance is gone. Within hours, their photo is all over Internet and in print. Nikki's business manager, Jaycee, sees the budding relationship as a threat, both to Nikki's image and to the sale of her impending album and Christmas Eve concert. Nikki's ever faithful assistant, Carmine, urges her to follow her heart. Chris, meanwhile, is giddy to be reunited, but wary of the scrutiny he and his family are suddenly facing. When a misunderstanding and the growing glare of the public spotlight threaten Chris and Nikki's happiness, they must soon decide if their relationship is strong enough to survive the spotlight.
