A wealthy executive, Drew Latham (Ben Affleck) has no close relationships and becomes nostalgic for his childhood home as Christmas approaches. When he visits the house and finds another family living there, he offers the residents, Tom Valco (James Gandolfini) and his wife, Christine (Catherine O'Hara), a large sum of money to pretend they are his parents. Soon Drew tests the couple's patience, and, when their daughter, Alicia (Christina Applegate), arrives, things get increasingly tense.
A lonely executive tries to buy back his childhood memories by offering a cash windfall to the family currently living in his old home. This awkward collision of wealth and domestic chaos turns a simple real estate transaction into a chaotic holiday standoff.
