Xmas for Lou

When a family gathers to celebrate Christmas in a New Zealand coastal town, it doesn’t take long for the cracks in the family facade to show. The unexpected return from London of the eldest daughter Ngaire, sets events in motion that force two sisters to confront their past. As family secrets are revealed, a seven year old child almost loses the security of the life she has always known.
