What is A Season For Family about?

Maddy (Stacey Farber) is a successful hotel manager and single mother to adopted son, Wesley (Benjamin Jacobson). All Wesley wants for Christmas is to meet his brother, who was adopted into another family. So, Maddy contacts the adoption agency for help. When Park City widower and single father Paul (Brendan Penny), receives a call from the agency, he’s at a crossroads. Paul turns down the agency’s request as he hasn’t told his son Cody (Azriel Dalman) that he is adopted.

Then, Maddy and Wesley go to visit her parents Frances (Laura Soltis) and Charles (Cameron Bancroft) in Park City, Utah. Coincidentally, they find themselves in the ski shop that Paul owns. The next day, when Wesley and Cody meet in ski school, an incredible bond is forged between the two. As that newfound friendship grows, so does the spark between their parents. When Paul realizes that Cody’s best friend is his brother, he immediately pulls back. But, his best friend Jeremy (Edward Ruttle) helps him realize he cannot deny his son his own family.
