Lea and Mark are a copy editor and reporter respectively at the Denver Post, Mark who pays little notice of her in the difference in their status, and Lea who doesn't much like Mark in his moodiness - he even referred to as "Moody Mark" by their colleagues - and he being a little too loose in the way he uses the English language which she always has to correct in his pieces. In their editor looking for the feature story for their holiday edition, Lea proposes one on the new post-war French painting at the Museum of Modern Art by an anonymous artist signing it solely by "F" with an enigmatic unknown female figure in the painting only being called Ma Fleur by the artist. Lea recently came into possession of a musical jewelry box from that era in which she found in a hidden compartment an incomplete journal written by F in 1959 outlining his forbidden love affair with Ma Fleur, they having met at a Christmas market in the French town of Petit Marchon, with legend being that true love is found at such markets. The incomplete nature of the journal is that neither F or Ma Fleur is fully identified by their real names and what happened between them was probably mentioned in the missing pages of the journal. In their editor okaying the piece, Mark and Lea are both dismayed that their editor assigns this story to Mark who is to investigate in Petit Marchon, Mark who sees this assignment as a Christmas fluff piece beneath him as a hard hitting journalist, and Lea believing the story hers and what could have been her big break. Lea is able to convince their editor to allow her to go along with Mark to cover the story together. Equally exciting for Lea is that she is a romantic at heart, this her first ever international trip, none other than to one of the most romantic areas of the world where she can test out the legend of love being found at the Christmas market. As they go about the story sometimes individually in their different working styles and different levels of experience, and sometimes together, they may find that the story and the Christmas market may work their magic with who they least expect.
