This year they spend the Christmas holidays with retired naval officer Bandy McAnsh (Jack Thompson) and his wife Skipper (Kris McQuade) at their seaside home. While there, they meet a younger couple, Fearless and Teresa (Sullivan Stapleton and Victoria Hill), who the boys believe are planning to adopt one of them. Now–amidst swimming, sneaking cigarettes, motorcycle riding, and playing on the beach–tensions and competition rise among the December Boys.

Despairing of hope for a grant to carry out his research on progeria (a disorder that hastens aging), Richard Shorkinghorn (David Wenham) is thrilled when hope of financing from the Michael Foundation comes his way. There is a catch, however: he must spend time at the home of the head of the foundation. Richard agrees, and the ensuing weekend proves very interesting indeed.
