Having spent centuries bringing gifts and spreading holiday cheer to children around the world, disillusioned Santa Claus now toys with the idea of hanging up his boots. Instead, he is in for a nasty surprise when he sets foot in the lavish Lightstone mansion and realises Christmas-hating Scrooge and his armed-to-the-teeth mercenaries have taken 7-year-old Trudy and her family hostage. Now, there’s no turning back. Are the bad guys prepared for an unlikely opponent and a long, bloody, violent night?
