Albert, a little Douglas fir tree who loves Christmas more than anyone, goes on a road trip from his little nursery to the big city to make his dreams come true.

Late in life, writer Albert is experiencing a severe case of writer's block. When he, for the first time in decades, returns to a desolate island, old memories come back to revisit him. These memories turn out to have a cathartic effect on his writing, but are also pulling him deeper and deeper into a frightening dreamscape, where the lines between suppressed trauma and his darkest fantasies blur completely. Things are no longer what they seem to be.
