The story so far
Everything you need before watchingKate sits slumped at the airport after her flight falls apart. A boy she has never met calls her Grinch, swears Santa will make Christmas work, and says that by this time tomorrow he will be on a Miami beach. It sounds like her family. She then tells him she ran away, wrecked her mom's engagement, and still cannot say goodbye to her dad. Watch how much easier the whole mess is to say to a stranger.
