Since her father died, Heather is sensitive to her mom\u2019s dependence on long-standing holiday traditions. This Christmas, Heather has planned a trip to Phoenix with her boyfriend, but tells her mother she is staying on campus to study.<\/p>\n<p>After Emily arranges a house-swap with Charles (Tom Cavanagh), an English professor from Boston who wants Washington State\u2019s solitude in order to finish his novel, Emily hops on a flight to Boston to surprise Heather for Christmas. Unaware of the house swap, Emily\u2019s best friend, Faith (Gabrielle Miller) walks in on Charles at Emily\u2019s house and in Boston, Ray, Charles\u2019 brother (Gil Bellows) responds to a 911 call only to find Emily at Charles\u2019 condo.
