Nine strangers, stranded at an airport during the holidays, unite for a Christmas road trip to Denver. Misadventures lead to unexpected bonds and heartfelt conversations.

Stranded at the airport on the way to Denver, a group of strangers decides to share a rental bus and travel to Denver by road. It becomes an interesting journey where they get to know each other and their respective backgrounds and challenges. Everyone has reasons to reflect on where they are heading in life, and sometimes they find support in each other. Clay and Dana, who didn't have a good start at the airport, discover sides of each other that they didn't anticipate initially, despite being opposites in many ways.

It's a few days before Christmas, and all the travelers at Portland International Airport eventually get the bad news that all the flights have been canceled due to inclement weather, the flight to Denver the last to be canceled. Many of those Denver-bound passengers have the same idea that the only way to get to Denver by Christmas is to rent a car and make the approximate eighteen hour drive. Ultimately, nine of those people - five singles, and two couples, a spousal and mother/teenage son pair - end up sharing what is the last vehicle available at the airport, a passenger van. Those nine have different reasons for wanting/needing to make it to Denver for Christmas, and different views of Christmas itself, not all positive. Of the nine very different personalities, the two most antagonistic are the organizer of the group Dana, outspoken in admitting she usually makes one statement too many, and the rental contract holder Clay, who initially was going to leave Dana behind due to the unpleasant encounters they had at the airport. Due to a multitude of different reasons, they get into one misadventure after another, some which threaten their ability to make it to Denver by Christmas. But as the nine get to know each other and slowly discover their stories including why they're heading to Denver, which for most isn't home, they may get a different perspective of Christmas, of the issues facing them in Denver, and of their lives holistically.—Huggo
