After a heist goes bad, professional thief Cate Dove (Shannen Doherty) hides out in her hometown of Comfort, Connecticut when her sister, stuck on an island by a tropical storm, asks her to take care of her two children Parker and Annie until she can get back for Christmas.  Not the most nurturing or sentimental of people, Cate spends most of her time scouting out the cozy suburban neighborhood with plans for another big score, as well as planning on how to get back at her deceitful partner Clive (Conrad Coates).  As Christmas gets closer, however, Cate gets used to small town life, and she begins to realize her family, friends, and hunky local sheriff Hank (Ty Olsson) are making her rethink her priorities, and a crime-free Christmas in Comfort might be just what she needs this year.
