The Noel Diary

ComedyDramaRomance99 min

When bestselling author Jake Turner returns to his childhood home to settle his estranged mother's estate at Christmas, he finds a house full of painful memories and a diary that doesn't belong to his family. The journal points to a woman named Rachel, who arrives looking for answers about her own past and her connection to the house. As Jake and Rachel follow the diary's clues, the trip becomes a search through old secrets, missed chances, and the lives their mothers kept hidden. Justin Hartley and Barrett Doss lead a story where clearing out one home turns into a reckoning with family history and the possibility of starting over.
