This is about a career driven woman who is recently divorced and her son who is not a happy teenager at the moment. His father cancels a snowboarding excursion with him over the holidays, so he's stuck with his mom. She is not happy that the dad canceled, so she has to come up with something last minute. They are not getting along very well, so the holidays may be a struggle and they end up staying at a lighthouse that people book for a different sort of getaway, something new and exciting. They don't realize what they've gotten themselves into. The owner is a bah humbug man, but he's got a good heart and both she and her son very much like him. The son also meets the mayor's daughter and they have a nice little teenage romance. Of course mom and lighthouse guy are the main romance.
There are some inconsistencies and production problems. The script is either faulty, or they had to limit the scenes due to runtime. Either way, some fell a bit flat, but overall it's a good film.
