The Road Home for Christmas (2019)

In the heart of New Orleans, amidst the vibrant energy of Bourbon Street as Christmas approaches, we find Lindsey Scott and Wes Bailey. This mismatched pair are bound together in an unlikely alliance, performing in a lively dueling piano act. Lindsey, diligent, methodically organized, and a classically trained artist, constantly seeks perfection in her planned performances. Wes, on the other hand, is a jazz enthusiast embodying a relaxed, carefree spirit that allows him to improvise effortlessly, making him the crowd's favorite and a thorn in Lindsey's side. Their professional rivalry takes an unexpected turn when their final gig of the year is abruptly canceled, leaving them both stranded just days before Christmas. Lindsey, lacking the funds for a flight to her hometown outside of Akron for a significant family Christmas - her sister Allie is expecting her first child - is left desperate. Simultaneously, Wes, who hails from a neighboring town, shares the desire to be home for the holidays. In a surprising twist of fate, Wes suggests a road trip together - a fifteen-hour journey straight through to their respective hometowns. With the thought of missing Christmas proving worse than enduring a lengthy journey with Wes, Lindsey begrudgingly agrees. Their journey, however, is far from smooth. With detours, both planned and unexpected, threatening their timely arrival, they're forced to spend more time together than anticipated. As the miles roll on, they begin to truly understand each other, their rivalry softening into growing affection. Yet, admitting these newfound feelings becomes an uphill battle, further complicated by Wes' impending tour offer without Lindsey. As they navigate the road home for Christmas, they find themselves on a different journey entirely - one of self-discovery, unexpected love, and the true essence of the holiday spirit. In this heartwarming tale of rivalry turned romance, 'The Road Home for Christmas' promises a journey filled with warmth, laughter, and the enchanting magic of Christmas.
