12 Steps of Christmas - Act 2


Listen Later

12 STEPS OF CHRISTMAS — a filthy Christmas comedy. When a rebellious kid is denied his dream Christmas present by his mom, he goes to his estranged alcoholic father (who lies about being sober) with an idea: adapt the 12-step program to teach me how to not be you.

Act 2 - Continuing... Jake’s “rehab” with an amended 12-step list, Carl drags his son to a Mexican A.A. meeting. Unexpected revelations lead to a reckoning and new goals for each: Carl drink-y no mas and Jake giving his mom Ashley “one nice day.”

When Jake’s next Step, “Believe in the motherfuckin’ Spirit of Christmas,” instead leads to the destruction of trust, reputation, and public property, Jake finds himself fighting with both parents—and on the run.

Pitch – When 13-year-old Jake’s fed-up mother tells him he won’t get the cell phone he absolutely NEEDS this Christmas, he goes to the only other person who ever pissed her off as much as he seems to: his estranged alcoholic father, Carl. Jake’s plea: adapt the 12 Step program to teach me how to not be you.

Will Jake find out that Carl’s sobriety is secretly a bunch of humbug?Can this fuck-up father teach this fuck-up son how to be less of a fuck-up—all in time for Christmas?

Join two of the least qualified people in the world as they stumble into lessons of empathy and personal responsibility—and believing in the motherfuckin’ spirit of Christmas.
