His son, Jamie, has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Christmas morning, and Howard has promised to deliver a special gift - the highly sought-after Turbo Man action figure. However, as Christmas Eve descends upon the small suburban town, Howard discovers that his initial good intentions have been overshadowed by his own neglect. Missing his son's karate exposition, a pivotal moment in Jamie's life, has left a deep-seated regret that only a special gesture can rectify. Determined to make amends and salvage his relationship with his son, Howard embarks on a frantic quest to find a Turbo Man action figure.

There's Myron Larabee, a ruthless and cunning neighbor who will stop at nothing to ensure his son, Jake, receives the coveted toy.

In their shared quest to find Turbo Man, they learn valuable lessons about the true meaning of Christmas, the importance of family, and the value of perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds. Finally, after a series of misadventures, near-misses, and setbacks, Howard and Jamie find themselves face-to-face with the elusive Turbo Man action figure. In a thrilling showdown with Myron Larabee, Howard must deploy all his cunning and resourcefulness to outwit his rival and secure the prized toy.
