After the loss of their first child, John Smithfield watches his young wife, Hannah, sink into a deep depression. As the weeks march on and winter closes in on their small Kentucky farm, Hannah moves through each day in a silent, almost mechanical routine. When John finally reaches a breaking point and lashes out at God for taking his daughter—and voices his fear of losing his wife forever—he wonders if life will ever be the same.
With the approach of Christmas Eve, John decides to go about his normal task of decorating the cabin and preparing a holiday meal, in hopes of enticing Hannah out of her depression. His plan seems to be working, but John still battles his fear. Will this Christmas celebration be the final turning point for Hannah . . . or will she return to her dark pit and be lost to him forever?
