On Christmas Eve, a lawyer helps a battered wife search for her kidnapped son As ex-husbands go, they don'€™t get much worse than Carl. He'€™s violent, drunken, and possessive'€”and worst of all, he'€™s an ex-cop. Bonnie has remarried, and done everything she can to keep their son away from his father, but when Carl comes to terrorize them'€”stinking drunk on Christmas Eve'€”she cannot call the cops for help. After years of living in fear, she visits a legal aid office to arrange a restraining order. But by the time the lawyer starts the paperwork, it'€™s already too late: Carl has kidnapped their son. Bonnie'€™s lawyer, an ex-priest named Megan McGee, has too much Christian spirit to turn the woman'€™s case over to the corrupt local police. Together they comb the city in search of the boy, racing to find him before his father'€™s affections become violent, and turn this white Christmas into a bloody one.
