When vintage upcycler Tori Morgan agrees to help her aunt Vi organize Blossom Springs’ first Christmas parade in forty years, she’s also handed one crucial job: find the perfect Santa throne. With only a week to go and their newly opened vintage market under the town’s microscope, Tori’s terrified that failing to deliver will tank both the parade and her reputation.
At a dusty barn sale outside the quirky central Florida town, a black-and-white cat darts ahead of her and leads Tori to a pile of furniture. That is where she spots it: a vintage European armchair, all intricate carving and faded grandeur, now tattered but begging for a second life. Tori hauls the chair back to her shop and discovers the cat has stowed away in the seat.
By nightfall, the throne is on full display in the shop’s front window. By morning, it has vanished. In its place Tori finds a small glittering partridge and a riddle - the first clue in a town-wide Christmas scavenger hunt. Blossom Springs is delighted. Tori is not. With the parade looming and Sheriff Henry Whitaker, the ex she left at the altar, circling the case, she refuses to give up on finding the thief.
But when the final clue lands squarely in her path, Tori, Jingles the cat, and Aunt Vi are pulled into the game, following a trail of partridges and patina that just might lead them to the missing throne and a Christmas miracle.
