Mark Taylor sees the whole thing, and as a second-year medical resident, he gets Cassidy top-notch care. In spite of himself, heтАЩs fascinated by his motherтАЩs stodgy neighbor, and as he strives to help Cassidy recover from a broken leg, he begins to realize that behind CassidyтАЩs obsession with punctuality is the story of a lonely boy who thought he had to be perfect to be loved.
Mark and his family are far from perfectтАФbut they might be perfect for Cassidy. As the two of them get to know each other, Cassidy fantasizes about the family and happy-ever-after he never thought heтАЩd have, and Mark starts to yearn for CassidyтАЩs wide-eyed kindness and surprising creativity. But first they have to overcome CassidyтАЩs fears, because there is so much more fun to be had during Christmas than just being on time.
