Christmas Baby

It's Christmas Eve morning, 1957, and John wakes up to find his parents are missing. When he realizes they never came home from a holiday party they attended the night before, John calls his estranged uncle, a man he barely remembers and hasn't seen in nearly 14 years. Together, they face a life-changing tragedy and John discovers a family secret that's been tucked away like the Christmas presents hidden in his parent's coat closet.
