When an obnoxious, self-centered family abandon their young son over Christmas, the house is soon invaded by dangerous criminals with malevolent intent, ultra-violent consequences ensuing, in a story that could be best described as THE STRANGERS meets GOODFELLAS . . .

"PUNISH! NAUGHTY!" Nothing screams Christmas quite like Santa going on the rampage with an axe -- especially on "garbage day"!
