Detective Jefferson Jeffries doesn’t understand why his lover, florist Sean Wycliff, refuses to commit to Christmas dinner with his family. Christmas at the Jeffries household will be special this year. Deployments are ending and siblings are coming home from as far away as Afghanistan and Iraq—everyone but the youngest son will be there. But Sean has been avoiding meeting Jeff’s family for nearly a year, and Jeff has started to think Sean doesn’t really love him. When Jeff’s prodigal baby brother Derrick comes home to Hilldale for a surprise visit, he tries to convince Jeff that Sean is just afraid to meet them. Love can be a rocky road, but when this special family comes together for the holiday, they show it’s worth every mile of the journey.
