FATHER TONI gets invited to a Christmas party at a congregant’s family home. Standard practice. Only problem? Toni previously had an anonymous (and spellbinding) hookup with their son, JP, who opens the door and greets him with nervous, sexual tension. Toni intends to apologize for lying and break things off with JP, but gets derailed by their undeniable connection. Their conversation, however, is not as private as they think.
