It‚’s Christmastime in Cottonwood, Kentucky, and Sheriff Kenni Lowry is determined to keep carefully the peacefulness. Vivian Lowry, Kenni‚Äôs Mama, is normally having a Christmas-size hissy match because Kenni plans to spend Xmas in Chicago with her Deputy Sheriff-turned-boyfriend Finn Vincent and his family members. If that‚Äôs not enough to dampen the Xmas soul, the ghost of Kenni‚Äôs grandfather‚Äîthe ex-sheriff‚Äîmakes an appearance, and that means only one factor: there‚Äôs been a Christmas murder, and there‚Äôs a tinsel-wrapped victim at the center of it. Relying on her Poppa more than ever, Kenni uses him as the Ghost of Xmas Past to help resolve the murder. Will it be in time on her behalf to save Xmas in Cottonwood and hop on her plane to meet up Finn‚Äôs family?
