In icebound Wichita, Kansas, it's Christmas Eve, and this year Charlie Arglist just might have something 
to celebrate. Charlie, an attorney for the sleazy businesses of Wichita, and his unsavory associate, the 
steely Vic Cavanaugh have just successfully embezzled $2 million from Kansas City boss Bill Guerrard. But 
the real prize for Charlie is the stunning Renata, who runs the Sweet Cage strip club. Charlie hopes to 
slip out of town with Renata. But as daylight fades and an ice storm whirls, everyone from Charlie's 
drinking buddy Pete Van Heuten to the local police begin to wonder just what exactly is in Charlie's 
Christmas stocking--and the 12 hours of Christmas Eve are filled with surprises.
