📖 Synopsis

It’s the holiday season, and Dan Morgan (Mark Wahlberg) wants nothing more than a picture-perfect Christmas vacation with his family. But when he learns his daughter Nina (Zoe Colletti) is staying in London, he flies the whole family there — expecting joy, togetherness, and festive cheer. What he doesn’t expect is a mysterious figure from his past (played by Kit Harington) showing up, dragging the Morgans into a dangerous international chase filled with bank heists, car chases, and old secrets.
