Pinocchio Geppetto has spent his adult life trying to make everyone call him Noc. Unfortunately, holiday office traditions are cruel little monsters. When the Secret Santa list reveals his full legal name to the entire office, Noc is ready to confront Human Resources and demand a little dignity. Instead, Gina from HR locks the door, closes the blinds, and offers to make it up to him in a way no employee handbook could possibly cover. Then the holiday magic gets even stranger.

A modern version of Pinocchio, marine Levi Woodyer - known as "Woody" to his special ops team - is on a medical discharge, a man with a haunted past, a painful present and an uncertain future. His father watches, powerless to help his son, as Levi slips further between the cracks, and troubled Levi doesn't seem to be too interested in helping himself. But when his father's simple bribe finally gets Levi out of the house to a physical therapy appointment, his encounter with former high school sweetheart, Linnea Fey, just might put him on the path to wholeness again.
