1996 was the year that changed everything for Maggie Dawes. Sent away at sixteen to live with an aunt in Ocracoke, she meets Bryce Trickett who introduced her to photography, a passion that would define the rest of her life. By 2019, Maggie is a renowned travel photographer. Struggling to come to terms with a sobering medical diagnosis, she becomes increasingly dependent on a young assistant - and finds herself becoming close to him. Maggie begins to tell him the story of another Christmas, decades earlier - and the love that set her on a course she never could have imagined.
