As such, Will suggests to Connie that they join forces, solely on this one project until the hearing, to use whatever legal means they have at their disposal to thwart either the mega store from opening at all or if it does to ensure that all the toy business in town comes their way. The hearing to decide the injunction will be held Christmas Eve, with their friend, Mayor Ben Stevens (Mario Cantone) secretly telling them that he knows the outcome will be in their favor, but that Roy's can remain open until the hearing. Connie places an injunction on the store opening as it contravenes a long-standing but little known city ordinance. They face another potential hurdle in reaching their financial goals when they learn that a Roy's Toys mega store, owned by cutthroat Roy Barnes (Billy Gardell), will be opening in New Britain just in time for the Christmas season. They are also both struggling financially, with Connie soon having to make a balloon payment on the store's property mortgage, while Will is trying to buy back what was his family's home which his ex-wife got in the divorce settlement, they both hoping a good Christmas season will yield enough in revenue to make these imminent payments.

Both Connie and Will speak nicely about the other's store when customers ask, but quietly seethe about the existence of the other and thus are not really on speaking terms. Connie's father and Will's uncle, from who they inherited their respective business, used to be business partners until they had a falling out which led to the two stores so close in proximity.

Those businesses just happen to be both toy stores - Forrester Toys and DiNova Toys, respectively - and both located in New Britain, Connecticut, one block away from each other. Widowed Connie Forrester (Melissa Joan Hart), mother to an adolescent son, TJ (Cameron Mann), and divorced Will DiNova (Mario Lopez) are both second-generation owner/operators of their respective family business.
