BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
We find out about a veteran named Bill Bailey who, on D-Day, parachuted in and stumbled upon a ring in the ground. He held onto this ring and cherished it forever. It's been passed down, generation to generation, until it goes to Vanessa, his great granddaughter. She lost it while skiing with her daughter. She's going from antique store to antique store trying to find it. She enters into Howard Miller's place that's holding a Christmas in July sale. As she's looking for the ring, a fella named Ben starts talking to her, asking what she's looking for. Ben is Howard's son. Ben keeps asking about her marital status. She finally opens up about losing her husband, who was also in the military. Ben says he's also a widower. Maybe it's time they both move on.
They start hanging out, flirting and what not. Fast forward a bit and it's the holiday season. Vanessa's daughter comes home and she wants to tell her about Ben but keeps getting interrupted.
We then see the hands of someone opening a box, filled with antiques, including her ring. He sets it off to the side. Turns out those hands belong to Howard. He thinks this ring could be worth a lot of money.
Ben and Vanessa keep hanging out and Vanessa keeps not telling her daughter.
Howard calls his son with good news! He found the diamond in the rough and it's worth $25,000! And a buyer is already lined up.
She finally tells her daughter about Ben and it doesn't go well. As good a time as any to go ahead and go out on their first date.
While out on the date, he realizes that the ring she's been looking for is the ring his dad has found. So he has to rush to the shop to make sure his dad doesn't sell it.
He goes to tell him and he's like it's not her ring, I'm selling it, end of story. But Howard finally takes a look at the engraving, just like Ben asked. He knows it belongs to her, so he goes to give it to Ben.
Ben surprises her at her big event by bringing her the ring and they end up kissing.
