It's Christmas, but life with the Frost family is anything but joyful. Patrick and Henry Frost are at war with each other. Ever since Patrick’s mother walked out on them several months ago, things haven’t been the same. Patrick deals with bullying at school, his bully’s favourite topic of discussion being “even your mother doesn’t want you!”. Henry is dealing with crushing stress at work instigated by his terrible boss Mr Leon. Henry doesn’t understand Patrick’s emotional struggles or abandonment issues, while Patrick doesn’t understand the strain his father is under, and believes the lies that his mother doesn’t want him and that his father resents him. This often leads to conflict between the two.
The day after a session of role-reversal therapy resulted in an argument, the two wake up to find they have switched bodies. Now Patrick must go to work as Henry, and Henry must go to school as Patrick, where each of them will learn just how much the other has to deal with.
