Plot
Jack has finished his last exams and is back home for Christmas. Far from feeling festive, he is crippled with self-doubt and exasperated by the prying questions of his extended family. As he slowly self-medicates to cope with the traditional Christmas dinner, his family begin to change around him taking on the appearance and characteristics of ever more intriguing personas. In their various guises they offer him advice from their pasts and help him reflect on his future.
