Christmas is coming but it doesn’t feel that way for** Esme Greenwood.** Recently jilted by her cheating fiancee **Warren,** she’s had enough of London life and escapes to Thimble Cottage in the Peak District, home of her beloved grandmother **Matilda**.

While Esme mourns for the wedding she’ll never have, Matilda puts her granddaughter back together again with comforting words and generous helpings of fruitcake and together, they plan the trip of a lifetime, to Lapland to see the northern lights, somewhere Matilda has always dreamt of going.

But tragedy strikes and when Matilda dies, Esme screws up the courage to go on the trip on her own to honour her beloved grandmother’s wishes. At the airport she meets a motley crew of characters including Zach, a handsome, brooding, out-of- work actor and together they set off for an adventure.
