Despite her dysfunctional parents, workshy Dad, Danny and bingo obsessed Mum, Maggie, Laura has suddenly became very affluent. An irresistible target for Harvey Chamberlain. With the help of his glamorous assistant, ace pickpocket Tara Watson, he attempts to uncover the mysterious source of Laura's new found riches. Then he plans to transfer her windfall into his own ever expanding coffers. Throw into the mix, a frustrated detective and a member of parliament with despicable morals, a wintery December sleigh ride of thrilling comedy chaos ensues. For somebody, a seemingly innocent Christmas kiss means life will never be the same again. A tale of festive flings, high stakes deception, booze and bingo!
