The narrative is set during a Christmas family gathering. John Price is home from the military for the holidays, having brought his impressive and expensive working dog, Buddy, to meet the family. While most are impressed, a conflict is brewing. Guest is John's youngest niece, and along with their sibling Chloe, they are being encouraged by their mother Matilda to be rough with Buddy. John finds himself repeatedly having to stop Guest from yanking the dog's tail and otherwise mistreating him, creating palpable tension with his sister, Matilda. Guest's role is that of the bratty niece, putting them in direct, albeit low-stakes, conflict with their uncle John.
