On Christmas Eve, as she anticipates an idyllic holiday shared with her husband and small children, Rachel learns that her life is in danger. Fleeing home in her slippers and robe, she begins a strange odyssey across a darkly comic America. The zany play poses questions about family, loss, identity and Santa Claus.
