Synopsis

Going the Distance

Erin and Garrett are very much in love. When Erin moves to San Francisco to finish her journalism degree and Garrett stays behind in New York to work in the music industry, they gamely keep the romance alive with webcams and frequent-flyer miles. But just when it seems the lovers will soon be reunited, they each score a big break that could separate them for good.

Single on the 25th

After Nell’s family cancels holiday plans at the last minute, she decides to spend the week of Christmas having fun on her own — and crosses paths with her neighbor, who is “happily unattached.”
