A story of love, regret and the bittersweet nature of friendships ... It is 1988. Six cynical young urbanites, brought together by a series of strange events, end up stranded at Christmas in a bleak, run-down house on an isolated stretch of Donegal coastline in Ireland. It seems like a recipe for disaster, but as the landscape reveals its wild charms, and the house reveals its strange history, they become bound in friendship, and as a drunken joke form the Christmas Club.
