But, when his talented teenage daughter, Molly, is killed in an accident on Christmas Eve, Dylan’s world and family come crashing down. Seeing her dad self-destructing and on the verge of losing everything, Molly, now an angel, intervenes in Dylan’s life, eventually, helping him rekindle his faith, mend his marriage, heal his heart and create a Christmas miracle no one will ever forget.
