Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Release 5 References 6 External links Plot Anders Hill has recently divorced his wife Helene and quit his job in finance for an early retirement, and is having a difficult time coping. Anders ' adult - son Preston is a recovering addict who still lives with Helene in the family home that Anders has left. Anders remains enamoured of his ex-wife, despite his string of one night stands since their divorce. He shows up at the annual Christmas party she co-hosts with Sophie Ashford, a neighbor and friend of Helene. Isolated at the party, he goes outside and joins Sophie and Mitchell 's son Charlie and some of Charlie 's friends. They urge Anders to smoke from a bong, and he is surprised to discover, afterward, that the marijuana is laced with PCP. Later at the party, Charlie overdoses and is taken to the hospital. Sometime after, Anders, who is still the formal owner of the family home he has left to Helene, and, thusly, responsible for the mortgage, finds that he can not afford to retire as well as pay off the house, and has fallen behind with the payments. He approaches a friend for a loan, however, the friend instead takes Anders to a strip club where he meets Barbara, a woman who is on a date. Anders and Barbara hit it off and end up sharing a cab home, and in his drunken stupor Anders gives his old address and breaks into his old home upsetting Helene and Preston. Days later, Preston stops by Anders ' condo to reveal he has a job delivering alcohol but is homeless, having been kicked out of the family home by Helene. However, Anders tells him he can not stay the night and urges him to grow up. That night, Charlie visits Anders and tells him he has broken out of the hospital, as his parents want him to go to rehab and he needs to run away but wants Anders to look after his pet turtle. Charlie later dies of an overdose, his corpse discovered by Preston. Charlie 's death causes Preston to be welcomed back into the family home by Helene. On Christmas Eve, when the Hills and Ashfords traditionally celebrate dinner together, Preston finds his Dad and convinces him to stop by for dinner. Over the course of the dinner, Anders reveals that Charlie and himself had gotten high together a few times. This revelation leads to Sophie telling Anders that Helene had been cheating on him for two years. Mitchell then attacks Anders by smashing his cigar into Anders ' forehead. A few months later, everyone has moved on. Rather than keep the house, Helene has moved out with her boyfriend. Preston has decided to return to grad school, getting his own apartment. Anders continues to date Barbara, is settling into retired life, and is looking after Charlie 's turtle.
