The Leonard's have a famous family story involving electrocution and a giant Christmas tree. What started as a tragedy for all slowly grew to become a National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation style comedy for everyone in the family, except for one.

It's Thanksgiving in 2011. Half of the Leonard children (now adults) are home for the holiday weekend and get to work decorating the massive pine tree in the front yard for Christmas. And then something strange happens. It changes everyone's perspective on life, death, and the super powers of parents... and electricity.
