A modern love story about identity, family and healing at Christmas time, set in regional Australia.

For the dysfunctional Savage family, Christmas is always held at the decadent Gold Coast family home. Empty nesters James Sr and Brenda greet their adult children: Trans-woman Davina with trans-partner Kane, mentally ill gambler Jimmy Jnr, and newly separated pill-popper mum Leia.
Crazy Uncle Dick arrives in full Santa regalia and kickstarts the opening of unwelcome gifts while Brenda struggles with the Christmas Turkey. As family secrets come to light and happy facades unravel, the day descends into chaos. A mobster arrives to take Jimmy hostage for unpaid debts, and the family are forced to come to terms with old wounds. It’s not the Christmas they want, but perhaps it's the one they need.
