A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
"...The peace and love of the holiday season descend into chaos for a world-renowned physician when his ex-girlfriend and the teenaged son he never knew he had pay him an unexpected visit at his hospital just three days before Christmas.

Frantic, funny and completely outrageous, this rib-tickling farce proves once and for all that laughter truly is the best medicine..."
