He's traveling home for one last chance with his first love, and he needs a miracle to win her back. Ammy doesn't believe in true love--just look at her parents.

After a train-wreck first impression between the two of them, the Amtrak train suddenly breaks down--in the middle of a snowstorm. Desperate to make it to their destinations, Noah and Ammy have no other option but to travel together.
