Parrish, Roan - The Holiday Trap

Two women yearning for a change swap houses for the holidays and discover unexpected love and self-discovery in this heartwarming LGBTQIA+ rom-com.

Greta Russakoff, a lesbian woman living in a small Maine town, feels stifled by her family and the expectations of her life. Craving adventure and self-discovery, she jumps at the chance to participate in a house swap with Truman Belvedere, a gay man living in New Orleans.

Truman, recently heartbroken, seeks a change of scenery to heal and rediscover himself. As they spend the holidays in each other's homes, Greta and Truman experience new cultures, routines, and face unexpected challenges.

Through virtual communication and shared experiences in their swapped homes, an unlikely bond blossoms between Greta and Truman. Soon, their online connection deepens into a heartwarming romance.

Greta Russakoff loves her tight-knit family and tiny Maine hometown, even if they don't always understand what it's like to be a lesbian living in such a small world. She desperately needs space to figure out who she is.

Truman Belvedere has just had his heart crushed into a million pieces when he learned that his boyfriend of almost a year has a secret life that includes a husband and a daughter. Reeling from this discovery, all he wants is a place to lick his wounds far, far away from New Orleans.

Enter Greta and Truman's mutual friend, Ramona, who facilitates a month-long house swap. Over the winter holidays, each of them will have a chance to try on a new life...and maybe fall in love with the perfect partner of their dreams. But all holidays must come to an end, and eventually Greta and Truman will have to decide whether the love they each found so far from home is worth fighting for.
