Workaholic FBI agent
Jake Cunningham (Shawn Christian) fears his case against investment fraudster
Scott Shift (Cameron Bancroft) may not stick without the testimony of cocktail
waitress Brandi O'Neill (Jami Gertz), who naively believed herself to be more
then Scott's latest throwaway flirt. Then Jake is tricked by his “Ma”, Anne
Cunningham (Tyne Daly) to spend Christmas with his “seriously ill” dad, Judge
Joe Cunningham (Winston Rekert) and is ordered by his bosses to take Brandi
into protective custody.
Jake didn’t regularly
visit his family, so he passed off Brandi as his steady date and his mum is not
impressed and there follows a humorous posh versus working class seasonal
culture clash, but there is a dark side to the tale when Jakes dad discovers
the true identity of his girlfriend and sympathizes with the Shift family and
unwittingly informs the corrupt family lawyer of her location.
