A once-successful holiday songwriter reluctantly resumes work to restore his finances. His path is complicated by clingy friends and an unwillingness to leave his apartment.

Mason Evan Harris was the best "English Language Foreign Holiday Novelty Songwriter" in the business. That was 5 years ago.

The road back to financial stability would be easier if his friends would just leave him alone...and if he was willing to leave his apartment.—Robb Padgett
