Mia Sullivan, wife of Lance Sullivan, has written letters requesting that the old gang should join them for Christmas: Harper Stewart and his almost-nine-month-pregnant wife Robyn , Julian "Murch" Murchison and wife Candace Sparks , her best friend Jordan Armstrong and boyfriend Brian McDonald, Quentin "Q" Spivey , and Shelby Taylor. All the friends arrive at the house, the first time they've come together in 14 years, and the celebration begins. At dinner, the old friends catch up while tensions grow between Shelby and Candace. Years after his debut novel, Harper is struggling with writer's block, financial difficulties, and pressure from his publisher to come up with newer and better material for his next book. He has also been recently relieved of his faculty position at New York University, further complicating the couple's financial position. He kept all this from Robyn, as she is finally pregnant with their first child after years of expensive fertility treatments and the baby is almost full-term. His agent suggests he write a biography on his estranged friend, Lance, who is set to retire from football. Harper reluctantly agrees, but keeps the biography a secret.
