Plot Synopsis

Widowed father of two Robert Trent is perpetually disorganized and finds balancing his family life with his job as a toy inventor at his family business increasingly difficult. When a potential client plans to visit him and his brother George before the holidays, he seeks the help of professional organizer Lydia Evans. She helps him organize his life, home, and dinner that he and George will host for the potential client. Robert is impressed with her work, though taken aback when she rearranges a collection of snow globes. He opens up to her about his late wife and how he arranges the snow globes just like she did. The two bond over a mutual fascination for the brightest star, Sirius, and even George and Lydia's friend Pam notice the chemistry. With Lydia's help, Robert focuses and delivers on his promise to make cookies for his kids, inspiring Lydia to find the joy in their less than perfect shape. Lydia soon bonds with his children. When Lydia visits his office, she is impressed by his toy inventions, and decides that his office should remain a messy, creative space. Robert and Lydia have a test run of the holiday dinner, which not only goes well, but also further fans their romantic flames. Despite Lydia's work with Robert being over, he invites her to join the family in decorating the Christmas tree. When his client comes to dinner, Robert presents him a high tech toy which wins him over. Now that his life is in order, his family is cared for and his business is running smoothly, Robert looks for a little Christmas magic to begin a romance with Lydia just in time for the holidays.
