Plot Synopsis

Juniper Jones is a world traveling marine veterinarian who isn't afraid of anything except getting stuck in one place. When a favor for her college roommate brings her to the seafaring town of Mystic, Connecticut during the holidays, Juniper is happy to visit a new place and take a temporary position at the Marine Mammal Rehabilitation Center and Aquarium. Here she works to help a seal named Peppermint get released back into the wild. In between her work, Juniper explores Mystic and finds herself smitten with the town, its people, and much to her dismay, the owner of the pizza shop, Sawyer, who she had spent a romantic night with years prior. After an awkward reunion, Juniper and Sawyer agree to move forward and forget about their past but their spark is ignited once again. There's a ticking clock on their romance since Juniper is only in Mystic temporarily and Sawyer insists, he's too entrenched in his hometown to leave (even at the expense of some of his own life dreams). While Juniper continues to insist, she has no plans to stay, the interns Juniper oversees and Sawyer himself get her involved in the community and she soon finds herself catching the holiday spirit. Juniper inspires Sawyer to go after the life he's always dreamt of, while Sawyer (and the rest of Mystic) will show Juniper what it feels like to really belong to a community. *CREDITS: Executive Producer: Andrew Gernhard; Director: Marlo Hunter; Writer: Nicole Drespel.
