Set over the twelve days of Christmas the plot follows four very different women – a glamorous hotelier, a food writer, a God-fearing, all-American grandma, and a young woman who is sinking like the city she’s returned home to – each with their own secrets. They converge upon Venice’s boutique Hotel Il Cuore and their lives collide. But not everyone who checked into the hotel will check out.
