Grumpy home-security expert Neil and his neighbor Scott are feuding, possibly because Scott insists on keeping his Christmas lights illuminated all-year-round. When local crime family, the Brennans, decide to rob every house on the street in a single night, the pair must set aside their differences to defend their street and save Christmas.
