When Ed and his three adult sons come together to celebrate Christmas, they enjoy cheerful trash-talking, pranks, and takeout Chinese. Then they confront a problem that even being a happy family can't solve: when identity is the cornerstone of one's worth, and privilege is increasingly problematic, what is the value of being a straight white man?

Tom Skerritt, who was originally slated to play Ed, left for "personal reasons" during rehearsals. He was replaced by Denis Arndt, who then left for "creative differences."
