Vincent Michelson, his sister Janice, and brothers Corbin and Ellis are preparing for their traditional Christmas celebration at their mother’s home when an unexpected interruption comes-the siblings receive the disturbing news that their father has died. What follows is an odd chance meeting that the Michelsons have only wondered about. For many years the Michelson siblings have known that their father has another family-a wife and two children. But on the day of their father’s death, they unexpectedly meet members of this other family for the first time. Unspoken feelings about their father come to light when Corbin and Ellis refuse to attend his funeral. Janice’s attempts to bring her family together are soon dispelled when the truth about her father becomes too painful to bear as her mother recalls a horrific episode from the past. As the Michelsons unwillingly prepare for the funeral, painful and disturbing revelations continue to surface. Nontheless, this dysfunctional family also finds solace during a time when scars are revealed and death allows for no more secrets.
