In today’s twisted world, times are tough, even for CHRIS KRINGLE (Gibson). He’s broke. The hard-drinking, gun-toting badass and his wife RUTH, have secluded themselves from media attention. Unfortunately, the rising number of naughty children has caused Santa’s government subsidy to be slashed, leaving him, his factory, and workers burdened by a financial crisis.
BILLY is a mischievous young boy being raised on the toxic combination of wealth and neglect. When Chris punishes Billy’s bad behavior with coal, the boy seeks vengeance and hires an eccentric, but sharpshooting hitman, known as SKINNY MAN (Goggins).
Chris and Ruth are obsolete and out of touch, relying on a time when hard work and strong moral values were the recipe for success. Billy and Skinny Man are their contemporary, ruthless competitors and have no problem lying, cheating, and even killing to get what they want. When these worlds collide, there will be a reckoning.
