Eddie Bennett (Brian
Krause) is a fast-talking, Three-card Monte dealer who has hustled the streets
of New York City for the last 15 years and along with his friends, he has mastered
every scam there is.
But one day in early
December he is visited by a mysterious burly looking man called Nick (George
Buza) who offers him an unusual proposition where he will give Eddie the opportunity
to achieve eternal redemption for all the bad deeds he has done in his life and
in return he must transfer his spirit into a different body for three weeks.
The body belongs to an
aging, ailing Santa Claus, Sam Wells (Cedric Smith), who can use Eddie's body
to play Santa for one more Christmas before he dies.
Eddie thinks the man
is crazy and has no interest in redemption but if he were to go through with
the deal, he'd want a million dollars in cash.
The mysterious Nick
snaps his fingers and a million dollars appears before an amazed Eddie and so
the deal is done.
Complications arise
when Eddie's friends find out about the million dollar pay off and want part of
the action and when Eddie meets Sam's daughter, Susan (Natasha Henstridge) he
finds himself falling in love with her and also finds the real meaning of
Christmas along the way.
