She wants to get out of his friend zone and into his heart.

After breaking up with his girlfriend, Levi Theroux meets the woman of his dreams, but she won't give him the time of day in his tale of unrequited love. His best friend, Maggie Jacobs, tries to help him in every which way she can to pursue his dream date, without revealing to him that she is secretly in love with him in her own Cyrano de Bergerac story. Will these two best friends find a Christmas breakthrough and their own happily ever after at the Christmas Village where they work?

Lonesome Levi is looking for the best partner in life...

After breaking up with his girlfriend who returned to her first love, church warehouse manager Levi Theroux finds comfort in his best friend, Maggie. However, his heart can’t imagine her as more than his best friend, and he looks elsewhere for a new girlfriend, someone who can fill in the space left behind by his ex.
While working at the Midtown Village ministry arm of Midtown Chapel, Levi falls for someone—but she rejects him, unfortunately. As she happens to be a friend of Maggie’s, Levi wants her to be his matchmaker and get him that dream girl. Will Maggie take the job? She has to. She’s the only one among his friends whom he trusts fully.

Matchmaker Maggie can't get out of Levi's friend zone...

Women’s Ministry administrative assistant Maggie Jacobs has fallen in love with Levi after his breakup, and looks forward to seeing him every day as they minister at the Midtown Village of tiny homes for needy single parents and emancipated homeless teens. From November to January, this place turns into a Christmas Village depicting small-town America.

However, she won’t tell him about her feelings because he has not shown any romantic interest in her. Maybe she isn’t his type or something. Now he wants her to help him pursue the chef in the church kitchen. How many ways can he break her heart without even realizing it? Still, she can’t say no to him. Perhaps she has to accept the fact that they would only ever be friends. Or does she? Either way, Maggie sees a dead-end to any romantic relationship. To protect her heart, Maggie decides to leave town…
