In the end, hearts and minds will collide when Ivy realizes she already knows the answer ... but has to survive to share the truth.It's a race to the finish line, with Jack trying to give Ivy the best holiday gift ever and Ivy trying to overcome her own fear and let him.Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but it might not end with a happy holiday if Jack and Ivy can't put together the pieces of a murder in time for peace, joy ... and forever.
