A recent divorcee and her young son move to a small Georgia town to start anew. Mason befriends a lonely, recently widowed older man, and together they attempt to save several abandoned puppies hiding in the thick kudzu brush. Their love, fath and determination help them cope with loss and separation and realize the blessings they share during the holiday season. Ms. Marin appears as the social worker offering Gaitus Stevens (John Lawhorn) a job as a school crossing guard, where he meets the young Mason.
