It’s Christmas Eve and everyone’s looking for a miracle. Two bumbling fugitives want help proving their innocence, the deputy DA wants a date, and Fred wants a vacation away from his overbearing mother.

What she gets instead is a merry, manic mystery that turns her life upside down, but might just prove the biggest miracle yet.
