Two weeks before Christmas, Noel is left home alone in Porthcawl, a sleepy seaside town in South Wales, and dumped by his long term girlfriend for another guy; a taller and more rugged alternative. Faced with the unknown, he turns to primal scream therapy with his self-taught therapist Simon and retreats to the past, reminiscing with his old school pal Steve. A chance encounter with Cherie, a disillusioned actress who has returned home to reflect on her past and present to begin a more fulfilled life, leads Noel to open up and share his passions. Their shared love of music, eighties movies, and all things Christmas encourages a celebratory spirit, and the possibility of a Happy New Year. Will the insecurities of recent break­ups, seasonal intoxication, and mis­communication conspire to ruin their fun or will they simply have a Wonderful Christmas Time?

A married couple who have managed to remain blissfully happy into their autumn years, are surrounded over the course of the four seasons of one average year by friends, colleagues, and family who all seem to suffer some degree of unhappiness.
