19-year-old Ben Burns unexpectedly returns home to his family's suburban home on Christmas Eve morning. Ben's mother, Holly, is relieved and welcoming but wary of her son staying clean. Over a turbulent 24 hours, new truths are revealed, and a mother's undying love for her son is tested as she does everything in her power to keep him safe.
Editor's Verdict
"The entire narrative takes place over Christmas Eve, making the setting strong. However, the primary focus is on heavy drama (addiction, family crisis) rather than traditional heartwarming holiday elements. Christmas serves as the intense backdrop for the crisis, making it a 'Christmas Drama' rather than a classic 'Christmas Movie.'"
