It follows Melvin , an author who lives in LA but is returning home to London to promote his new book alongside his new fiancee Lisa . However, he’s less keen on attending his family’s annual Boxing Day bonanza after shocking events in a previous year.Alongside all of that, Lisa’s hiding a secret and Melvin is reacquainted with his ex Georgia , who is now a global superstar singer and clearly still harbours some feelings and unfinished business with him.
