WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Erica (Graham) is an overworked congressional aide who is forced to forego her family Christmas at the bequest of her boss, Congresswoman Angie Bradford (Madsen), who sends her to a tropical Air Force base which specialises in making an annual plane drop of gifts and other goods to the locals on Christmas Day. While Erica is there to find ways for her boss to defund the facility, she clashes with Captain Andrew Jantz (Ludwig) who shows her the joys of both his operation and the importance of spending the holidays with others…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Inspired by a real-life delivery of goods to tropical residents over the Christmas period, this cheery romantic-comedy should put everyone in good spirits as we get closer to the festivities.
