On Christmas Eve, eighty-five-year-old Miriam Gardiner steps onto the frozen river behind her home, recalling a long-ago love affair. However, her dementia clouds her judgment, and she doesn’t hear the ice crack beneath her until it’s too late. Was her fall an accident, suicide, or something more sinister? As her fractured family gathers in their Bar Harbor mansion for what they believe is her last Christmas, tensions rise. Among the guests is Delphine, Miriam’s insecure granddaughter, who adored her grandmother, and Adam, the live-in nurse with whom Delphine is secretly involved. The family dynamics are complicated: Nicole resents her caretaker role, Diana is burdened by her deadbeat husband, and Richard has made no secret of his wish for their mother to pass. The situation escalates when it’s revealed that Miriam’s will leaves her entire estate to Delphine, cutting out her children. As they plot to contest the will, Delphine begins to notice inconsistencies in their stories, prompting her to investigate further. However, her quest for the truth may lead her into dangerous territory, where she too could end up on thin ice.
