Oliver Toffey leads a simple life. Living with his little brother and working as a cleaner, he's searching for the one guy who'd make the perfect husband. Although Oliver is mildly retarded, he doesn't see it as a handicap on his way to happiness. When he meets a new client, NoEl White, he falls head over heels for the lonely man who lives on takeout and always seems so sad.
Unceremoniously, Oliver takes charge of NoEl's apartment and his life, to show him the magic of Christmas and how much he loves NoEl.
