Synopsis
The action of the movie starts somewhere in East Texas where Detectives Marcos Fernandez (Phil Mendoza) and Jack Tyler (Jay Dee Walters) are out gathering clues on a package theft that ineluctably threatens the Christmas spirit of the community. Bobby (Noah Archibald) and his partners in crime, Sarah (Molly Peyton White), Izzy (Terry Higginbotham) and Sticky (Ryan T. Johnson), get the job done with the help of fancy gizmos such as trackers and drones. The detectives gain another reason to find the thieves when a mayor’s Beanie Baby, worth a lot of money, is snatched and time is running out. People are getting anxious to bring Christmas cheer back. Poor Marcos also has to deal with other women troubles, finding comfort in a new detective Sally Jones (Kara Rainer) who theoretically should not be in his heart but rather on the case.
