A Season for Family

Hard working San Francisco hotel management staff member Maddy, a single mother, is taking her first vacation in years in she and her preteen son Wesley heading "home" for Christmas to Park City, UT. This business is in her blood as her father Charles owns an upscale ski resort in Park City, Maddy never having considered working for him in not wanting any talk of she getting to where she is solely in being the boss' daughter. In Park City, they meet widowed ski and snowboard shop owner Paul and his adolescent son Cody. Paul's business is struggling, largely with the growth of such shops closer to the ski hill with his being in town. He is also struggling in raising Cody on his own, specifically getting extremely shy Cody to break out of his shell. A spark seems to exist between Paul and Maddy, this the first time for Paul since his wife Cindy's passing two years ago, and Maddy who has put a romantic life on the back-burner in focusing on Wesley and advancing in her career. Their meeting also seems to be a blessing especially for Paul as Wesley and Cody quickly become what seems to be the best of friends, true friends which are currently absent from Cody's life. Beyond Maddy and Wesley living in San Francisco, Maddy and Paul subsequently learn something that places a further obstacle in they even having a friendship in the long term: that Wesley and Cody are biological brothers. While Wesley was long ago told that he was adopted and Maddy decided on taking this vacation in part in discovering that Wesley's biological brother lived somewhere in Park City, he who Wesley wants to know, Paul has not yet told Cody that he is adopted and is not yet something he is prepared to tell him in he and Cindy long ago deciding to do so when he was older.
