Ryann didn't mean to runover the town's semi-feral Thanksgiving mascot-nor did she mean to ding the vintage truck belonging to Hayes Wellington, the town's most emotionally constipated (and infuriatingly hot) single dad. Now stuck in Halloween Town with no car, no job, and a turkey named Reggie in a homemade splint, free-spirited Ryann reluctantly agrees to help Hayes cook Thanksgiving dinner for his late wife's estranged family.

She's California chaos in sparkly boots; he's a vintage motorcycle restorer who barely speaks in full sentences. But in the week building up to Thanksgiving, parenting hacks go sideways, secrets start to thaw, and what begins as payback turns into a crash course in healing, home, and finding love where you least expect it.
