A Single Dad Skipped the Company Christmas Party—Then, at 10 PM, the CEO Knocked on His Door

On Christmas Eve, single father Emmett Iverson skips his company party to support his child’s emergency school performance. Then, at exactly 10 PM, CEO Willa Kincaid appears at his door with a locked inspection case and a terrifying request: help prove that a deadly factory defect has been hidden from regulators. As a snowbound town waits for the plant to reopen, Emmett and Willa uncover missing evidence, locked systems, and a board determined to silence them. Their search leads from a modest family home to an abandoned Christmas exhibition hall, where every clue raises the stakes. Can they expose the truth before midnight—or will the company’s machinery become a trap for unsuspecting workers?
