Every family has its season of mending.
After fifty years of marriage, Margaret and Bill Whitaker invite their six grown children home to Boston for Christmas - but what's meant to be a joyful reunion turns into something none of them expected.
For the first time in years, the whole family gathers under one roof: Daniel, the stoic; Annie, the peacemaker; Michael, the fixer; Eliza, the perfectionist; Ben, the dreamer; and Sophie, the optimist. Between tangled lights, burnt cookies, and decades of unspoken hurt, old rivalries spark - and so does the truth.
