Synopsis

Self help author Callum Mori (Takaya Honda) makes his first television appearance on a TV chat show, hosted by presenter Kate Sedgeman (Lily Brown-Griffiths). Following a successful book launch with Linda Young (HaiHa Le), Kate’s best friend, Callum forms a problematic friendship with both ladies. As Kate progresses through his book, ‘The Gift that Gives’, a cache of secret love letters is found, sending Callum into damage control. A farcical quest for the naked truth, and over the Christmas table, a rediscovery of family motives.
