A Homecoming for the Holidays

The Quinn family is convening for Christmas for the first time in two years in their hometown of Canyon Pass, Montana. Son Eric has completed his final tour of duty and come home to take over father Glenn's construction business; Glenn, a vet himself, needs to slow down as age and injuries take their toll. His final project involves volunteering the company for Operation Homefront, a non-profit that aids military families with housing needs. The house being built in Canyon Pass is for one of Eric's former colleagues, Army widow Dana Alvarez, and her teenage daughter Hadley, the star pupil in Patty Quinn's music class, who is heading to Juilliard after graduation if she can get one of the scholarships available. Meanwhile, Charlotte Quinn is a country-music star taking a break from her current tour with former love-interest Taylor Robb. Her stardom was just a pipe dream the last time all four members of the family got together two years ago at Eric's send-off. It will be a working vacation for Charlotte; she needs to write some new material as she is heading into the recording studio in the new year. It is an unexpected homecoming in many ways. First, Eric has not told the family that he is thinking about going back overseas in a military-related job, the next hurdle being the imminent interview, which if he is offered it means an uncertain future for Glenn and Patty's retirement and Glenn's company. And Charlotte makes an emotional connection with another of Eric's former Army colleagues, Matt, who is in town for Operation Homefront until the house is completed and the next housing project for the organization is assigned to him. Any time Charlotte and Matt have together is truncated as at the last minute Charlotte is offered a Christmas special on the 23rd in Nashville. Besides the two living in different worlds and on different schedules Charlotte and Matt's road to a potential happily-ever-after has the further hurdle of Taylor in her life, the incorrect public speculation of them getting back together playing on Matt's psyche, and which Taylor himself fosters in it helping his career.
