A Heartfelt Storyline

The official synopsis of Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story teases a blend of love, family tradition, and community pride. The plot centers on Morgan Quinn discovering that her uncle Tommy has been getting anonymous Christmas gifts since his draft more than 60 years ago.

She teams up with Gabe and their Bills Mafia friends to figure out who’s behind the gifts. As they dig into the mystery, Morgan and Gabe find themselves getting closer, both to the truth and to each other.
