It's
Christmas in Seattle and Gordon Trout (Martin Landau) has hit
rock bottom. His business partner has ruined him, and his wife
has gone off on a cruise. Unable to summon up the energy to
join her, and deeply depressed, Gordon decides to end it all.
Life is just as hard for Crystal (Heather McComb), Cam (Shawn
Hatosy), and Jody (Elizabeth Moss), three runaways living on
the streets, who have nowhere to live after the abandoned car,
they call home has been destroyed. When the teenagers collide
with Gordon in the mall parking lot, Jody convinces him to give
them a ride home. Gordon quickly discovers that the runaways
have no home and that he's been taken hostage. Forced to drive
Jody home to her mother in time for Christmas, Gordon heads
off, at gunpoint, to Arizona. However, they soon realize life
doesn't always go as planned. A chance encounter with a preacher
named Eddie (Kris Kristofferson) takes their lives in a new
direction and leads them down a path spirited by hope.
