Christmas Eve finds Cassie about to lock up her remote, bare-bones Julibee Motel when an icy rainstorm sweeps the well-heeled Mick into her lobby. She insists the motel is closed for Christmas. He insists he needs a room and is willing to pay whatever she asks. She’s alone. He’s alone. His name is familiar, but she doesn’t let on. Instead, she kicks their hard-core banter into an emotional rollercoaster of confessions, threats, and unfulfilled desires. As each one struggles for control, Mick must decide whether he wants to die, and Cassie must decide whether she wants him to live.
