An annual family Christmas Eve dinner takes a disturbing turn when a Secret Santa gift gives its recipient far more than they bargained for…

Meryl is thrilled to have her daughter, Roxy, home for Christmas after her first term at university. But she’s caught off guard when Roxy’s unannounced new boyfriend, Ben, turns up to what was supposed to be a family only dinner. Determined to be gracious, Meryl makes an effort—and at first, Ben seems charming, thoughtful, and surprisingly well-prepared for the family’s holiday traditions.

But when the Secret Santa presents are exchanged, Meryl receives a grotesque and horrifying gift that sends the entire household spiraling into chaos. Her first suspicion falls on the outsider at the table—Ben. Yet, as the night unfolds, she begins to wonder: could she be wrong? Is family more dangerous than a stranger? And what exactly is hidden inside that present… and who could be cruel enough to give it?
