Too Close for Christmas
Directed by Ernie Barbarash

A warm, holiday-centered romantic drama about second chances and reconciliation, built on the comfort of Christmas gatherings and the slow rekindling of connection between two people.
When Hayley accepts an invitation to spend Christmas with her sister’s new in-laws, her seemingly perfect holiday takes a turn when Paul, Hayley's brother-in-law's brother, unexpectedly shows up.
