Several souls collide in this wasteland during the holiday season in a high stakes game of deception, murder and awakening.

Orlando Crawford, (early 20s), is a lonely’ deputy sheriff in the area around Buffalo, and is haunted by the unsolved cold case of his grandfather’s beheading death. It causes him to lose faith in any God so cruel. To stay close to his deceased elder, he becomes tenfold the Bills fan that he was and is an unofficial member of the Bills Mafia. Quite the joker, he hides his lonely life with football fever and strip clubs. He finds himself investigating a string of gruesome murders that force him to make a monumental and dangerous decision, or die in the process.

Meet Ronnie (early 60s) who is a grumpy ex-cop, forced into early retirement due an unfiltered mouth. Feels he was done wrong. He meets Orlando on Halloween at the new strip club, where they bond over football. Another customer at the ‘Razzle Dazzle Cabaret’ is Primo, who buys Ronnie drinks and chats him up. Now drunk, Ronnie goes to his car and is attacked … by something. He awakens in the woods, transformed and more powerful than ever before. When his new master gives him the orders to kill with abandon, nothing could please him more.

TV reporter, Carmen Ellis (early 20s) is an attractive woman with her feet planted in the church. After an update about the murders that Orlando is at, they start to date. She is quite different than the stripper he usually dates and he finds it refreshing. Not only does he confide to her about the investigation, but they start to fall in love and he begins to change for the better.

As the killings continue, several decapitated corpses are found at some of the crime scenes. Could it be related to his grandpa’s death? Victims are mostly Buffalo cops and the fans of the opposing teams that come to watch a football game. Orlando is in danger of losing his job if it doesn’t get solved. He must transform from strip club party boy, to a hero that saves a community that strives to celebrate the holiday season - as the danger lurks.

Secretly tracked by a group of scientists, they finally confront Orlando and reveal his destiny as foretold ages ago. He will kill the demon wolf, who murdered his grandpa, before a celestial alignment occurs and its powers increase enough to be indestructible. The day the big event will happen? … Christmas Eve.

The scientists devise a plan to use Orlando as bait to flush the werewolf out. The only one who comes to the spooky cemetery is Ronnie, who claims he was just mugged. Orlando urges him to go home, it could be dangerous. The alignment starts to occur. Ronnie apologizes to his friend, but a human sacrifice must be made. He turns into a werewolf and attacks him.

The scientists reveal themselves as the Three Wise men of legend who have been tracking the celestial alignment. They also have supernatural fighting skills. They save Orlando’s life by killing wolfen Ronnie.

They congratulate each other, … until Ronnie’s mentor, the demon wolf, shows up. It is Primo. He was the first werewolf and reveals himself by his old name, … Pontius Pilate. Centuries ago, after he defiled the Easter tomb by defecating in it, God cursed him to be a hellhound. And yes, he killed Orlando’s grandpa. Now, this is his moment for revenge against God and humanity.

A battle rages and the super wolf overpowers them all. When things are their bleakest, Orlando grabs the special gun the scientists made, but has jammed. An earnest prayer from Orlando unlocks it and he is able to splatter his foe.

As the Christmas Eve clock hits midnight, the wise men, with job well done, vanish into thin air. Orlando, has fulfilled his destiny, avenged his grandpa, regained his faith in an ultimate power - and now he looks forward to the best Christmas … of his life.
