Willie Stokes (Creator/BillyBobThornton) is a drunk {{Jerkass}} safe cracker who along with his midget accomplice Marcus has a yearly routine of getting jobs as a MallSanta and Elf respectively during the holidays and robbing the mall's safe on Christmas Eve after closing time. During one such stint, Wille meets a kid (who is mostly referred to in the movie as "The Kid") who inadvertently saves him from being raped. After a run in with the mall's unscrupulous security chief (Creator/BBernieMac) posing as a police officer, Willie, his girlfriend Sue and Marcus move in with The Kid, who lives alone with his senile grandmother ([[ParentalAbandonment his mother is dead and his dad is in jail for embezzlement]]). Willie starts to warm up to the Kid and starts acting as a surrogate father... of sorts.
