During a traditional Christmas Eve feast, Stella and the Rossi women are told their husbands have been killed in an ambush and that enemies now surround the estate. Cut off from the outside, they believe surrender would doom the men they love, so they endure mounting terror behind sealed doors. The siege, however, is a fabricated prank devised by Stella's husband, father, and brothers to appease a woman named Selena. While the women's strength fades inside, the men outside assume gifts and apologies will mend the damage come morning.
