Festive Rivalry

Her family run a 365-day Diwali shop.

His family run a 365-day Christmas shop across the street.

Winter is their most contentious time of year.

Diwali celebrations are running high and the Christmas cravings begin as both shops sell the hottest commodity in town: light.

This year, the families’ usual competition (one-upping deals, outdoing window displays, and passive-aggressive smack talk) is taken to new heights when both Nisha and Sam, in an effort to escape their personal struggles, channel their full energy into the rivalry.

But when a well-intentioned prank goes too far, Sam and Nisha end up stuck in Nisha’s shop overnight. In these few hours, something ignites between them . . .

But surely, nothing can happen? Because even if they can get past their longstanding rivalry, their families definitely couldn’t.

Chaotic dinners, awkward conversations and cross-cultural holiday hijinx.

Will sparks fly, or will their relationship short circuit?
