Miranda
(Gemma Whelan) and Dan (Julian Ovenden) and their children live in the run
down, rambling country house inherited from her recently deceased parents which
they run as a small holding.
Despite its
dilapidated, work in progress, state with a team of polish builders’ resident on
site, they have invited a house full for Christmas.
Mirandas
fading Hollywood actress sister Lyla (Joely Richardson), her alcoholic/drug
addict husband Trent (Michael Landes) and their children, Dans oversexed
half-sister Vicky (Ronni Ancona), his ex-wife Miriam (Sally Phillips) and
addict son Harry (Jonas Moore),
Aunt Peggy
(Patricia Hodge) and Uncle John (James Fox), to name but a few.
So, a
chaotic Christmas ensues with old sibling rivalry, family squabbles,
drunkenness, drug abuse, and infidelities all of which threaten to sabotage the
season of goodwill.
