Facing
another Christmas alone, Drew Latham decides to go back to
his idyllic childhood home to spend the holidays with family.
There is, however, one problem: the people living there now
are not Drew's family. Nevertheless, Drew has his mind set
on an old-fashioned family Christmas, and the fact that the
"family" in question, the Valcos, are complete strangers,
isn't about to put a crimp in his plans. Offering them a small
fortune, Drew bribes his new-found "parents" to
let him spend Christmas in their home, pretending to be part
of the family. Just when the Valcos begin to question if any
amount of money is worth being dragged all over town on such
traditional family holiday excursions as Christmas shopping
and the requisite choosing of the Christmas tree, their eldest
daughter Alicia comes home for the holidays, with no intention
of adopting a new "brother."
