Daniel has a list of things he wants to complete before the New Year: 1. Get a tattoo.2. Ride through the snow in a horse-drawn carriage.3. Visit the Broadway Theater.4. Buy hot chestnuts from a street vendor.5. Eat a half-kilogram hamburger at Rocco's.6. Drink hot chocolate on a park bench.7. Fix the clock. Daniel's clock stopped when he lost all his comrades, his leg, and his hope in Afghanistan. But a visit to the Reed's tattoo parlor unexpectedly leads him to Faith, the greenest-eyed, red-haired girl he's ever seen. Daniel is determined to complete all the items on his list before the clock strikes midnight, and Faith volunteers to help him do it. But she is full of goodness and light, and he doesn’t want her to waste her warmth on him. Faith takes care of her old grandmother and therefore knows how valuable life is. But will she be able to help Daniel understand this before it's too late? After all, she has less than twenty-four hours. Time passes, the clock is ticking.**
