An idilic Christmas is about to be shattered by a bitter drug-related feud in upper-Manhattan. A family enjoy the festive season, safe in their picturesque apartment funded entirely by drug-money. The fun soon turns to fear when the husband is kidnapped and held to ransom. The kidnapper demands drugs and money, and the husband has the connections to meet the demands. The festive season, combined with a drug-drought in the city causes problems, and to make matters worse the wife of the family is starting to have doubts over the authenticity of her husband's abduction. This is a taut, tense thriller directed by Abel Ferrara (BAD LIEUTENANT).

Industry Reviews
"...Ferrara is a virtuoso of anti-action: Few directors can put loneliness on screen as persuasively or capture the eerie quiet of people waiting for something, anything to happen..."
Los Angeles Times - Manohla Dargis (11/08/2002)
"...There's mordant irony in the way this couple frets over dope dealers and Christmas gifts..."
Entertainment Weekly - Michael Sauter (12/06/2002)
