  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
It's Christmastime in the heart of Manhattan, and a loving couple leads a dual life: doting socialite parents by day, and hard-bargaining heroin dealers by night. They seem to have it all...until their paradise begins to crack. Double-crossing dealers beneath them threaten to steal their profits and their reign of the merchandise, and arguments break out. Just as things start to spin out of control, the wife receives a phone call - her beloved has been kidnapped, and she has 20 minutes to pay a hefty ransome or face his death. In a world charged by greed, passion and possession, there is no price too high...and no risk too great. "'R Xmas" is based on a story by Cassandra De Jesus.
