In a season of miracles, could one little girl's greatest wish come true?
December, 1941. America grapples with the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. For Ava's family, the approaching Christmas feels different, weighted with the absence of her son Toby, who has already enlisted. His departure casts a long shadow, particularly over his younger brother, George, who has never been separated from him.
As her eldest son contributes to the war effort in the shipyards and her daughter Pearl contemplates her role in a nation at war, Ava witnesses the resilience of her other children: Thelma, determined to pursue her dreams, and little Grace, whose one wish is that they all spend one last Christmas together.
Amidst the anxieties of wartime, Ava must hold onto the enduring power of family and the fragile hope that even in the darkest of times, miracles can still unfold.
