For various reasons, all three of the adult Brenner brothers currently live with their single mother, Barbara, in the family home. Stephan lives in the granny suite in her back yard as a place to hide out, he an animal therapist in believing animals more reliable than people in he being anxious around his human counterparts, especially in crowds. Taylor, a video game engineer, lives in the basement as the irresponsible, disruptive one who always manages to sabotage good things in his life. And firefighter Luke, who lives in the main part of the house, is only there temporarily while he builds his own house, that temporary status so far being ten months and running as he is easily distracted in working on one other project or another for other people. Barbara's goal is for them and their Aunt Louise to spend Christmas together, despite the brothers having pulled away from each other ever since their father abandoned them when they were children, they not even usually decorating her house for her. With five days until Christmas, someone leaves a baby named Thomas at the firehouse specifically for Luke, probably the mother who, as per the note pinned to Thomas, only implores him to look after Thomas until Christmas when she promises to come back for him. Including being certain that Thomas isn't his son, Luke doesn't know who the mother is or why she chose him as Thomas' temporary caregiver. Asking for advice on what to do, he decides to look after Thomas with Barbara's help until Christmas, and if the mother doesn't return by then, he will take Thomas to Family Services. As Barbara is called away shortly thereafter on an emergency, the three brothers need to care for Thomas on their own, something they are ill-equipped to do. But with Thomas in their lives, they are forced to examine their interrelationships, including the underlying issues of why the way they are as individuals who have never really appreciated self-sacrificing Barbara.

00:00:34Honey, it's gonna be late.
00:00:36Coming mom.
00:00:44Good morning.
00:00:45Good morning, your breakfast is ready.
00:00:48Mom, you're too good to me.
00:00:50What's, what's all this?
00:00:55Do you remember how hard it was to get the three of you to smile at the same time?
00:01:01It was like wrangling cats.
00:01:05Anyway, your Aunt Louise is coming down for Christmas this year and it's the first one without Robert so it's gonna be tough on her and I was really hoping you and your brothers would help me spruce this place up, make it extra special.
00:01:18A team effort.
00:01:19Yeah.
00:01:20Oh yeah.
00:01:21I'll take care of it.
00:01:22Yeah.
00:01:23Okay.
00:01:24I gotta run.
00:01:25Okay, well be safe out there.
00:01:33Oh, big day Mr. Brenner.
00:01:35We're revealing the key art.
00:01:37I see you chose to ignore today's festive dress code.
00:01:41It doesn't exactly scream Christmas cheer.
00:01:44It's close.
00:01:45Either it's 9.15 in the morning.
00:01:46Well, it saves on alcohol.
00:01:48Smart.
00:01:49Very smart.
00:01:50Cranberry fizzle pop?
00:01:51I'm okay.
00:01:59You look nice.
00:02:01It's a nice pen.
00:02:02Is that the one my mom gave you for Christmas last year?
00:02:05Two years ago.
00:02:06Lasts longer than we did.
00:02:09Yeah.
00:02:10Cranberry fizzle pop?
00:02:12Oh, I'm good.
00:02:13Hey, I took a sneak peek at the new artwork for the game this morning.
00:02:19Uh-huh.
00:02:20Before you flip out.
00:02:21Okay, attention elves and elfettes.
00:02:24If I could get your attention over here.
00:02:30Okay, well, with Limitless Horizons, mere days from completion, thanks to the best in the biz, Taylor Brenner and his team,
00:02:39it is my absolute pleasure to reveal the key art, which will most certainly be a cosmic success.
00:02:45Oh.
00:02:53Question.
00:02:54Yeah?
00:02:55What is that?
00:02:56Taylor.
00:02:57That white thing.
00:02:58What is it?
00:02:59It's a snowman.
00:03:00Happy little fellow, isn't he?
00:03:01He's happy.
00:03:02I can see it.
00:03:03A snowman?
00:03:04In a game about intergalactic time travel?
00:03:07Marketing suggested that we put some Christmas stuff in to tie in with the launch.
00:03:12Is there an issue?
00:03:14Yeah.
00:03:15Yeah.
00:03:16I spent 18 months coding an industry-defining interface, and you've slapped a snowman on
00:03:21it, and it looks like a handful of marshmallows that somebody stuffed in their pocket.
00:03:26That's unfair.
00:03:27Furthermore.
00:03:28Well, we've been down this road before.
00:03:32We're a team here.
00:03:34A team that I think maybe you are no longer a good fit for.
00:03:37Not a good fit.
00:03:39Well, David, I am fun and games.
00:03:41What you are is fired.
00:03:46I'm fired?
00:03:47All right, David.
00:03:48I'm fired.
00:03:49You're fired.
00:03:50We're all fired.
00:03:51You're serious?
00:03:53Fine.
00:03:54I'm taking the game.
00:03:55No, you're not.
00:03:56A laptop.
00:03:57Also, no.
00:03:58It's time for you to go.
00:04:02Okay.
00:04:03Thanks, David.
00:04:04Fun and games, huh?
00:04:05Who's having fun now?
00:04:06Because I...
00:04:07I quit.
00:04:08I just fired you.
00:04:09Just now.
00:04:10No, I'm gonna go right in there.
00:04:11No, no.
00:04:12You guys heard it here first.
00:04:13I just quit.
00:04:14You heard it.
00:04:15Who here is coming with me?
00:04:16Nobody likes you.
00:04:17Steven!
00:04:18Hi!
00:04:19I'm early.
00:04:20I hope that's okay.
00:04:21Or is it Stefan?
00:04:23Is this your place?
00:04:24Oh, it's really nice.
00:04:25Oh, wait a minute.
00:04:26It's really nice.
00:04:27Oh, wait a minute.
00:04:28I'm going to go right in there.
00:04:29I'm going to go right in there.
00:04:30I'm going to go right in there.
00:04:31No, no.
00:04:32You guys heard it here first.
00:04:33I just quit.
00:04:34You heard it.
00:04:35Who here is coming with me?
00:04:37Steven!
00:04:38Steven!
00:04:39Hi!
00:04:40I'm early.
00:04:41I hope that's okay.
00:04:42Or is it Stefan?
00:04:43Is this your place?
00:04:44Really?
00:04:45It's really nice.
00:04:46Oh, of course, it's your place too.
00:04:47Good one, Susie.
00:04:48Shoes on or off?
00:04:50I could just...
00:04:51I could take them off.
00:04:52I made a fruitcake.
00:04:54Ooh!
00:04:55Is that from India?
00:04:59Okay.
00:05:00Of course, as we mature,
00:05:02it's not uncommon to begin losing interest in things
00:05:05that once brought us joy.
00:05:07Wow.
00:05:08So insightful.
00:05:10But from the looks of it,
00:05:11he seems to be in pretty good spirits.
00:05:14So what seems to be the issue with him?
00:05:16Right.
00:05:17The issue is, um...
00:05:19Well, I think he might be lonely.
00:05:22Can be.
00:05:23I mean, who isn't around the holidays, right?
00:05:26But, um, when I met you,
00:05:29when he met you at the dog park the other day,
00:05:32I thought that you seemed like just the kind of guy
00:05:36who could help us.
00:05:37Him.
00:05:38With this.
00:05:39What's that?
00:05:40Oh!
00:05:41I didn't know you were also an author.
00:05:43Yeah.
00:05:44Oh, and very photogenic.
00:05:46That's not the best photo.
00:05:48So it's just the two of you at home?
00:05:51Yep.
00:05:52Single as a snowman.
00:05:54I meant in terms of other pets.
00:05:57Right.
00:05:58Of course.
00:05:59Yes.
00:06:00It's just us.
00:06:01You do house calls, right?
00:06:03Mm-hmm.
00:06:06Well, well, well.
00:06:07There's a little red walking hood.
00:06:09Not today, Mark.
00:06:11Nice flower.
00:06:12Come with a walker and some fuzzy slippers.
00:06:13Nice truck.
00:06:14Did it come with an unearned sense of self-confidence?
00:06:17No.
00:06:18Came with a snowmobile.
00:06:19Cool.
00:06:20You got a bulb out.
00:06:21Not talking about your lights.
00:06:24Third fall salon at that beauty salon this month.
00:06:31Weird.
00:06:32So weird.
00:06:33And somehow, always when Mr. January's on ship.
00:06:37I do one calendar.
00:06:38Did one of them ask for your number?
00:06:40Oh, 911 emergency hunk line.
00:06:43She wanted info on the charity event for this Friday.
00:06:45Okay.
00:06:46Oh.
00:06:47Mm-hmm.
00:06:48Just a humble civil servant bringing joy to the attractive women of Spruce Grove.
00:06:51Oh.
00:06:52Humble.
00:06:53Somebody's got to work around here.
00:06:55Yeah.
00:06:56What's going on in that Eddie here, his old boy?
00:07:03All right.
00:07:04One more time.
00:07:08Go get it.
00:07:11I'm not feeling it today, Arnold.
00:07:13I get it.
00:07:15Sometimes you want to be left completely and utterly alone.
00:07:19Thought I was the only one who knew about this spot.
00:07:21I am.
00:07:22So did I.
00:07:24Hey, would you be willing to come down someday and do a talk at the animal shelter?
00:07:28A talk?
00:07:29Well, we get so many impulse buyers, especially this time of year.
00:07:33Pets as gifts, half of them come back the next day.
00:07:36Uh-huh.
00:07:37It only hurts the animals, you know?
00:07:38It would mean the world if you could just come down and do a little seminar on it.
00:07:43Responsible adoption.
00:07:44I'd have to check my, uh...
00:07:46I would need to...
00:07:47Maybe...
00:07:48Sorry.
00:07:49Uh, maybe after Christmas then?
00:07:53Oh, too many people, Arnold.
00:07:56Too many people.
00:08:01Oh, come on.
00:08:07I don't like surprises.
00:08:08Well, look, Timmy, you're 12 years old.
00:08:13If you want to get out of the friend zone with Stacy, you might have to take her out somewhere nice.
00:08:17But it pays to be mature.
00:08:18Hold on.
00:08:19I gotta go.
00:08:20My mom's calling me.
00:08:21It's nice meeting you.
00:08:23Hi, honey.
00:08:24It's me.
00:08:25I know.
00:08:26I can see your face, sort of.
00:08:28Oh.
00:08:29I thought this was a call.
00:08:32Oh.
00:08:33That's better.
00:08:34Hey.
00:08:35How was your day?
00:08:36Good.
00:08:37Nothing to report.
00:08:38Okay.
00:08:39Look, so I was wondering if you had plans for dinner.
00:08:41Oh, uh...
00:08:42Luke has got a shift tonight, and I was wondering if I should set an extra...
00:08:46What did I do?
00:08:47Can you pause me?
00:08:48What did I...
00:08:49Can you hear me?
00:08:50I can hear you perfectly, ma.
00:08:51What did I do?
00:08:52Taylor!
00:08:53Can you hear me?
00:08:54I can hear you.
00:08:55I can hear you perfectly, and I can see you.
00:08:56I wanted to know if I should set an extra plane.
00:08:58Well, we're done here.
00:08:59I think I...
00:09:00Ma!
00:09:01I'll be up in five!
00:09:03Thirsty little fella.
00:09:05Enjoy, ma.
00:09:10Oh.
00:09:13Bye.
00:09:14Bye.
00:09:15Are you free tomorrow?
00:09:17Because I was talking to your brother about decorating the tree.
00:09:22Tomorrow, uh, I'm gonna check my...
00:09:26Schedule.
00:09:27Yeah, I know.
00:09:28I know.
00:09:29It's funny how busy everybody gets as soon as I mention Christmas.
00:09:32Ma, it's not that.
00:09:33I'll do it myself.
00:09:34You're not doing it yourself.
00:09:35Well, then who?
00:09:36Who?
00:09:37We're six days away from Christmas.
00:09:38We're the only house on the block without any decorations.
00:09:41Mark's house.
00:09:42Looks like a Vegas casino.
00:09:43A very festive casino.
00:09:46Hello.
00:09:47Oh, it's your brother.
00:09:48Just in time for dinner.
00:09:49What are the chances?
00:09:50Oh.
00:09:51Just in time for dinner.
00:09:52Yes.
00:09:53What are the chances?
00:09:54For you.
00:09:55Oh, well, that's a lovely thing to do.
00:09:58Quick question.
00:09:59Why do you come to the front door like you don't live in the backyard?
00:10:03Because I do not live in the backyard.
00:10:05That is an independent single family dwelling with private access that happens to be situated
00:10:12at the rear of the property.
00:10:13So the backyard.
00:10:14It's better than the basement.
00:10:15That's temporary.
00:10:16Oh, yeah.
00:10:17Is that why you were home at 11 this morning?
00:10:18Because you were house hunting?
00:10:19Eleven o'clock?
00:10:20What?
00:10:21What is the matter?
00:10:22Are you sick?
00:10:23Not sick.
00:10:24Not sick.
00:10:25Hey, it's none of my business if you want to ditch work and play video games in the middle
00:10:26of the day.
00:10:27What was he ditching?
00:10:28Well, if he's home sick, that's different.
00:10:29I quit.
00:10:30Okay?
00:10:31There that is.
00:10:32Enjoy.
00:10:33Quit?
00:10:34Or what?
00:10:35We were all thinking it.
00:10:36It's a great job for you.
00:10:37Why would you quit?
00:10:38It wasn't a great job.
00:10:39It wasn't a good fit.

01:09:59And there he is now.
01:10:01Oh, he's motioned for quiet.
01:10:04Let's see what he has up his sleeve.
01:10:07Welcome, everybody. It's awesome, isn't it?
01:10:10Look at this!
01:10:11Humble or not, I'd say this competition is officially...
01:10:15The truck is here.
01:10:30Oh, I don't know, guys.
01:10:34I don't know. I don't think I can do this.
01:10:36I think maybe I... I think I need to...
01:10:39We do this together, or we don't do it at all.
01:10:45Yeah, he's right.
01:10:47Not doing anything without you.
01:10:49We just have to stand there, right?

01:11:44Joseph.
01:11:45I got you.

01:14:23What you guys have done, this is a beautiful Christmas Eve gift.
01:14:26Well, I'll just have to have you back, Mom.
01:14:28Oh.
01:14:29Yeah.
01:14:30This is amazing.
01:14:33Thomas!
01:14:34My baby!
01:14:39Oh, my baby.
01:14:41Oh, I love you so much.
01:14:43Oh, I missed you.
01:14:44My baby.
01:14:45I know what you must think of me.
01:14:58I know.
01:14:59I moved here right before Thomas was born.
01:15:01I have no one.
01:15:02Trying to find work has been so difficult.
01:15:05I was terrified.
01:15:06I might lose my apartment.
01:15:07I've been upside down.
01:15:09I panicked.
01:15:10I just needed a few days to sort out my life.
01:15:13And I did.
01:15:14Yeah, but...
01:15:15You have nothing to be ashamed about.
01:15:17You needed help.
01:15:18You asked for it.
01:15:20And we are so glad that you did.
01:15:23Can I...
01:15:24Can I...
01:15:25Can I ask you?
01:15:26Why me?
01:15:27You were the first to arrive when I went into labor.
01:15:31I was home alone and baby was coming past.
01:15:36Sophie.
01:15:37Of course I remember you.
01:15:40Well, I guess we both look a little different at the moment.
01:15:45You were so incredible.
01:15:47So calm and gentle.
01:15:49You didn't leave my side.
01:15:51You were so brave.
01:15:52You know, I've thought about that day a thousand times.
01:15:55About you.
01:15:56The baby.
01:15:58That boy brought something beautiful into this house.
01:16:12They should get going.
01:16:17All right.
01:16:21Do you mind if...
01:16:22If we say goodbye?
01:16:23Of course.
01:16:28Hey.
01:16:31Hey, little buddy.
01:16:33We had so much fun with you.
01:16:34It's been good to meet you.
01:16:36See you later, pal.
01:16:37Don't forget to write.
01:16:39You want this elephant?
01:16:43Yeah.
01:16:45I miss you, bud.
01:16:46Yeah.
01:16:47Hi.
01:16:49Come visit, okay?
01:16:50We love you.
01:16:53Yeah, we feel the exact same way.
01:16:55Thanks, dude.
01:16:56Yeah.
01:16:59Oh, this is so...
01:17:01This is just...
01:17:02This is an extraordinary gift.
01:17:05Ah.
01:17:06I just love it.
01:17:08This is Luke's idea.
01:17:09Oh.
01:17:10Yep.
01:17:11Yeah.
01:17:12No, no, no.
01:17:13No, it's...
01:17:14It's all of ours.
01:17:15No.
01:17:16I mean, you...
01:17:17The costumes was him.
01:17:18That was pretty genius.
01:17:19Well, it's, um...
01:17:21It's...
01:17:22It's not just the photo, which is extraordinary.
01:17:25But it's all of this.
01:17:26This...
01:17:27This is the gift.
01:17:29It's Christmas morning.
01:17:31And...
01:17:32And you're not fighting.
01:17:34It was never about the decorations or the cookies or the music.
01:17:38It was about us feeling whole again.
01:17:43I am very blessed in my sons.
01:17:46It's a very Merry Christmas.
01:17:49Oh, come here.
01:17:50Oh, come here.
01:17:51Merry Christmas.
01:17:52Oh, come here.
01:17:54Everybody get in.
01:17:55Get up.
01:17:56Merry Christmas.
01:17:57Merry Christmas.
01:18:00Merry Christmas.
01:18:01Merry Christmas.
01:18:03Merry Christmas.
01:18:04Merry Christmas.
01:18:05Merry Christmas.
01:18:06Merry Christmas.
01:18:12Stephen.
01:18:14Happy almost New Year.
01:18:17Hi.
01:18:18I finally did that talk at the animal shelter.
01:18:21Wow.
01:18:22That's great.
01:18:23Well, come in.
01:18:24Tell me about it.
01:18:25Uh, well, I thought after my triumph with the nativity thing the other night that I was healed.
01:18:34Uh, turns out I am not.
01:18:37I, uh, sort of passed out midway through.
01:18:40Oh my gosh, are you all right?
01:18:41Yeah, yeah, uh, ish.
01:18:44I hit the ground pretty hard.
01:18:47Um, anyway, what I realized is that maybe some things never heal.
01:18:56And maybe that's all right.
01:18:57Maybe we just need to find the right people to walk through them with.
01:19:04Um, the other day I said that you and I were nothing alike.
01:19:08And that's not true.
01:19:11I, I find myself completely enraptured by you.
01:19:19Typically after a morning like I had, I would go home and hide.
01:19:23Bury my head.
01:19:24But today all I could think of was I just wanted to see you.
01:19:28You make me not want to hide away.
01:19:32In fact, you make me.
01:19:33It's hopeless.
01:19:44There's no way we're going to be ready in time for launch.
01:19:47Not if you keep getting sidelined helping people who don't deserve it.
01:19:50People like me who are rude, selfish, insufferable.
01:19:58Thank you, Kevin.
01:20:00Kevin's right.
01:20:01I have not been a good teammate.
01:20:03And for that, I am truly sorry.
01:20:05To all of you.
01:20:07Somehow when things are going really well, I find a way to sabotage it.
01:20:11I think it's because I'm scared of being let down or left.
01:20:14I don't know.
01:20:14I'm still working it out.
01:20:15But I do know I don't want to do that anymore.
01:20:19Because it's cost me the one person I've ever truly loved.
01:20:24Fiona, I don't deserve you.
01:20:27But if you'll let me, I'd like to help you finish this game.
01:20:30Let me take you out for dinner.
01:20:31I think I can afford it.
01:20:34I do it my job.
01:20:41I will not make the same mistake again.
01:20:47I promise you this.
01:20:48I promise you this.
01:21:01Luke.
01:21:21Hi.
01:21:22I was, um, I thought you might want this.
01:21:31Thomas might want this.
01:21:36You didn't have to.
01:21:37I wanted to.
01:21:40Look, if you ever need any help with Thomas, I would, I'd love to.
01:21:49I know what it's like to carry the world.
01:21:52Constantly feeling like you're falling short, letting someone down.
01:21:56I can't even imagine the added pressure of trying to be a mother.
01:21:59I just want you to know that you're not alone.
01:22:07Would you like to come in and see him?
01:22:11Yeah, I'd like that.
01:22:12Not bad.
01:22:30You made it.
01:22:31I did.
01:22:32Come on in.
01:22:33You finally got your house done.
01:22:34Look who's here, everybody.
