The Night Before

The Night Before

In 2001, Ethan Miller's parents were involved in a car accident on the night before Christmas. His two best friends, Isaac Greenberg and Chris Roberts, wanting to support the boy, founded their own tradition - to celebrate this time with the three of them every year. Seven years later, they learn about the craziest Christmas party, but they can't find any information about the place. In 2015, Greenberg and Roberts decide to break their tradition, as Chris has become a famous football player, and Isaac is expecting his first child. They will have to break the news to Ethan, who recently broke up with his girlfriend and is looking forward to seeing his friends. Miller, among other things, finds three tickets to the same party that has been out of their reach for so many years.
