A Careful Wish

Christmas doesn't look so merry when your husband has been eaten by a wolf.

Now Megan is braving her first Christmas without him. But her in-laws are a tough bunch. No one wants to talk about how Andy died, and Megan can't shake the funny feeling about Andy's final prayer, where he asked God to take him instead of his dying mother. And now Frances's cancer has gone into remission.

Absolutely, definitely, no one wants to talk about that. "A Careful Wish" is an ensemble comedy about possible miracles and family dysfunction.
