 After what is going down in history as the worst day of her life – so far – Annie Anderson finds herself on a train heading home for Christmas.

Going against all the laws of travelling on British Rail, she strikes up a conversation with the angry man opposite.

After downing his supply of brandy (residing in a convenient hip flask) they soon discover they have something in common. He needs a girlfriend, and she needs a boyfriend – for Christmas, anyway.

In a haze of brandy fumes, she agrees to be his date to a family wedding. In return, he will accompany her home and play the role of her boyfriend for Christmas.
