The Christmas Spirit

Charlotte Hart (Nicollette Sheridan), a distinguished journalist, is spending time with her family over the holidays when a real estate developer approaches their small town with quite an offer. Skeptical and looking for the real scoop, Charlotte drives to see the real estate head honcho to question him. While she's en route, she gets into a terrible car accident and wakes up in the hospital only to realize that her body is in a coma, but her spirit is very much awake. She meets another spirit, who just happens to be the greedy developer. It turns out that he was on the other end of the accident and he too is in a coma. With only a few days left before the town votes on the development, Charlotte must try to change the minds of the developer and the town, but that is no easy task when no one can see or hear her. Will her voice be heard?

Charlotte Hart, journaliste en congés forcés, retourne vivre à Laurel Springs, la ville de son enfance, pour prendre soin de la famille de son frère, parti combattre en Afghanistan. Tandis que la mère, infirmière, enchaîne les gardes à l’hôpital, elle s’occupe donc des deux adolescents, Morgan et Christopher, tout en gérant le journal local. Deux hommes d’affaires travaillant pour Huntslar et Associés, une entreprise d’investissement immobilier, se présentent à elle. Le patron, Daniel Huntslar, souhaite racheter les commerces de la rue principale pour moderniser le cœur de ville. Mais il ne laisse que cinq jours aux habitants pour se décider.
