At Christmastime, a close-knit group of childhood friends returns home after 10 years to take part in the celebration of life of their beloved high-school teacher.

Maya is a freelance attorney who, after a minor setback, has been living in the apartment above her parents' garage and using the Casillas Panadería as her unofficial office for the past couple of years. The Mexican bakery has held a warm spot in her heart ever since she worked there as a teenager alongside her high school crush, Alejandro "Alex" Casillas, the handsome nephew of the owner. When Alex's uncle asks for Maya's help in selling the bakery, Alex decides to return home to celebrate one last Christmas in the bakery and help Maya find a buyer for the bakery, whether or not she actually wants his help.
