As Christmas Eve approaches, Steve Anderson (played by Steve) emerges from prison as a former getaway driver, now on parole. He faces the pressure of adhering to strict parole requirements, with his officer, Ruth, constantly reminding him of the stakes—failure to comply could mean a return to confinement.
In an unexpected twist, amidst reports of reindeer sighted in London, Steve receives a call from his son, Tom, who has discovered a surprising guest in their garden shed: none other than Santa Claus. Initially dismissing Santa as a delusional intruder, Steve chooses to send him away. However, Santa’s attempts to retrieve his reindeer from Battersea Dogs Home result in his arrest, landing him in Lambeth Prison.
