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.
