Despite this, she remains humble and maintains close relationships with her family and friends. The only thing she’s missing is love. Harold Tomanelli, a mixed-race British stockbroker of Jamaican and Italian descent, is grateful for the wealth he garnered, but that doesn’t mean it will make him happy in the long run. Having dealt with depression his entire life, a lot of people don’t know what to think of him. Some people think he’s aloof and sensitive while others think he’s weird to the point that he could become a criminal. People also chase him around in public places due to his resemblance to Johnny Depp with Harold constantly lashing at people for bothering him. One night, Charlene and her company, Glory Road throw a Christmas party along with her family and friends a week before Christmas. All executives from major companies around America and internationally including Harold’s company Nationwide Building Society show up to the party. Charlene is hesitant to talk to Harold after everything she heard about his interactions with people but musters the courage to know Harold to push people’s judgments and Harold’s pessimistic views on life. Will opposites attract? Will Harold discover that life is worth living? Will Charlene accept Harold for who he is?
