Two Manhattan department store employees, Sloan Van Doren (Chyler Leigh)
and Jake Dooley (Paul Campbell), both apply for the same job during the busy
Christmas season.
Sloan is a driven young woman determined to become the next window
dresser at McGuire's department store and to uphold a 95-year-old artistic
holiday tradition, she is serious and professional, infact she's the polar
opposite of the happy-go-lucky Jake, who also wants the job.
But when Mr. Fitch (Matty Finochio) the head of advertising and
promotions fails to give the job to either of them, but offers them a
compromise solution instead and proposes a challenge, a competition where each
will create a series of seasonal storefront windows, twice a week until
Christmas and the creator of whichever window display gets the most attention
from passers-by will get the job.
As they go through their paces, with Jake's obvious talent grabbing the
public's attention, a silent but mutual attraction develops between the pair,
but progress was hampered by the contest and the presence of Kenneth Carlyle
(Cameron Mathison), Sloan's blueblood boyfriend, who can't understand the
importance Sloan is placing on this job.
However there were supporters of the efforts of the window dressers in the shape of
McGuire's veteran window washer Mac (Terence Kelly) and brassy bathroom
attendant Rita Dorentella (Naomi Judd) who also have eyes for each other but haven't done
anything about it yet.
So love is
in the air at McGuire's for Mac and Rita but how will the love triangle be
resolved, and will it be before Christmas?
