Synopsis

The town of Mill Creek is filled with all kinds of people. This story focuses on three families in the small berg, each facing their own serous dilemmas as the Christmas Holiday rolls up. The Carters, The Dawkins and the Wells. The Carter’s have just suffered the loss of their father, the patriarch of the family, Oliver Carter. They are gathering as a family for Christmas as well as for the memorial service and reading of Oliver’s will. Theirs is a story of a family that was once fiercely loyal and devoted to one another, now facing this dilemma in tatters. There are complications to the reading of the will. Charges are leveled that the eldest brother, Michael has been making changes to the will that give his other siblings reason to doubt his intentions.

Several local lawyers are worried that there may be foul play going on with Michael, who has also been chosen by his father to be the executor of his will. Gloria is the second oldest and a doctor. She and the other two siblings are suspicious about the tinkering Michael has been doing on their father’s will. Michael was hired by his father to be the company attorney and has been selected as the executor of the will. The reading of the will is scheduled for the day after Christmas and the tension builds to that point. The Dawkins family are facing a different type of struggle, as a night of infidelity has left their marriage on precarious grounds. Leonard and Molly have always been known in Mill Creek as the perfect couple. Camelot revisited. On a business trip, Leonard who hasn’t drank in several years, has a few rounds with his co-workers and ends up becoming involved with a young co-worker.

He confesses his indiscretion to Molly as soon as he arrives home and she becomes extremely upset. She demands that Leonard fire the girl immediately, but he fails to do so. He simply moves her to a different department in their firm and this fuels Molly’s suspicions that the affair is ongoing, when in reality, it was a one-night stand.
