A Hollywood actress sees Daniel spend some of his limited Christmas funds by buying a dress for a young woman's daughter and not expecting anything in return. Daniel's act of kindness prompts Sarah to invite him a swanky party promoting a cosmetics line.
Making a positive impression on the actress by being kind, smart and sober despite an open bar, Daniel receives a bag full of expensive products on his way out. Given a second gift bag by an award-winning actress, Daniel gets Sarah's permission to auction most of the items to help a food bank in his home town of Santa Barbara.
Inspired by Daniel's generosity and honesty, Sarah seeks him out as they form a friendship that eventually becomes something much deeper as Daniel's initial act of giving continues inspiring others.
