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.
