Christmas in Texas. It's Hal's first holiday with his family since his folks left the east coast, and change is hard. Add to the mix some booze, Lisa's new boyfriend, and a surprise visit from Hal's estranged uncle and things are bound to get a little mixed up. When Hal "borrows" a car and finds himself doing amphetamines and shooting firearms in a honky-tonk far from "that new highway" with a slightly deranged barkeep named Roy, things take a surreal turn. Waylon Jennings, broken glass, and some memories better kept buried are just a few things in store this Christmas Eve.
