In a world where Christmas has lost its magic, a worn-out and disillusioned Santa Claus finds himself trapped in a routine that has pushed him to the brink of despair. When a troubled child receives a lump of coal instead of what he wished for, he decides to hire a hitman to take revenge on the figure of the holiday. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game, where Santa must defend his legacy and confront an unexpected adversary who is willing to do anything to fulfill his "curse."
As the hitman pursues the iconic holiday character, the focus shifts to the struggle of the man behind the suit, a veteran facing financial troubles and a family to support. The film intertwines dark humor and action, exploring themes of occasional desperation, hopelessness, and what it means to be a hero in a world that no longer cherishes the truly heroic.
With a nod to Christmas traditions and a sharp critique of the commercialization of the holiday, this alternate story of Santa Claus defies expectations and immerses the audience in a whirlwind of action, laughter, and a touch of tenderness. Amidst the chaos, the true spirit of Christmas confronts a world that has forgotten it, and everyone will learn that redemption can come from the most unexpected places.
