Description
12 STEPS OF CHRISTMAS — a filthy Christmas comedy. When a rebellious kid is denied his dream Christmas present by his mom, he goes to his estranged alcoholic father (who lies about being sober) with an idea: adapt the 12-step program to teach me how to not be you. Act 1 - When 13-year-old Jake’s fed-up mother tells him he won’t get the cell phone he absolutely NEEDS this Christmas, he goes to the only other person who ever pissed her off as much as he seems to: his estranged alcoholic father, Carl. Jake’s plea: adapt the 12-step program to teach me how to not be you. We see Carl’s life doesn’t represent the change Jake is probably hoping for. We meet Carl’s parole officer, Jordan, via voicemail as Carl navigates clear artifacts of an alcoholic life. Jake and Carl begin their mission with Step 9—but Jake’s attempts to make amends leave him battered and bloodied. Will he decide to keep going? Can this f**k-up father teach this f**k-up son how to be less of a f**k-up—all in time for Christmas?
