A man still in hiding. A Christmas heist. This is no time for fruitcake. Ed Belmont works in a struggling Midwest mall. It isn't the ideal place for a job, but he's doing the best he can. Every day is an uphill battle since Ed dislikes children, holiday decorations, and Christmas music. But what's a guy to do when he's Santa Claus? There's a criminal lurking around town, and he's dressed as jolly old Saint Nick. Unfortunately, the cops don't have any leads until they stumble upon Ed. Now, the law is poking into his background, and it's creating problems. For Ed Belmont is a man with a secret that the U.S. Government has invested a lot to keep concealed. This is important since Ed's enemies have chased him across the country in hopes of exacting their revenge. Can Ed survive the week and leave the Santa suit behind? Or will the cops make sure he celebrates the holiday in jail?
