A melancholic portrait of grief and isolation set against the backdrop of Christmas commerce, where a man's spiral toward self-destruction becomes an unexpected pathway to human connection.

Noel travels from upstate New York every year to sell Christmas trees in New York City. Returning without the help of his long-time girlfriend, this year Noel finds it impossible to do the one thing he knows so well: sell Christmas trees. As Noel begins to spiral downwards, alienating co-workers and customers in the process, it turns out this same community of people may be the only ones capable of saving Noel from self-destruction.
