Summary[]
Old Michael runs his charming old-fashioned Christmas hat shops chain like a family firm, waving modernizing. Now he's planning to retire, loyal employee Mia, who runs the home town shop, expects to be promoted into his chair, but he always wanted to hand over the baton to his heir, sole son Nick, a Wall Street business consultancy shark. Mia is ordered to work him in, learning on the floor, but Nick doesn't even want the job and plans a total modernization. Yet they start bonding when Nick meets and instantly bonds with Mia's partially paralyzed pre-teen son Scotty, who craves a father figure and looks up to Nick, who proves a gifted school assignment and after hours competition coach, only lacks time as the local bank branch executive in charge of the bank's dodgy account, who has an eye on Nick, needs coaxing.
