A brutal slasher that weaponizes Christmas nostalgia and childhood trauma to create a darkly transgressive horror film centered on a killer's psychological unraveling.

After a man dressed as Santa Claus brutally murders Billy Chapman's parents, little Billy then endures the cruelty of a sadistic nun at his orphanage. Years later, when adult Billy has to fill in for an absent in-store Santa, his childhood trauma brings him to the breaking point.
