Harriet is facing her second Christmas on her own since her husband walked out. With little child support, she's struggling to manage financially.

When Owen, a passionate environmentalist and popular blogger, overhears Harriet bemoaning her situation, he challenges her to only buy second-hand until Christmas. What she doesn't know is that Owen is reporting her journey anonymously to all his followers...

Though the challenge is proving successful, it's not without its troubles. Can Harriet really keep her children and bank balance happy this way? How will she react when she finds her life documented online?
