San Diego. Nathan Kane is a modest introvert who works as an assistant manager at a credit trust company. He also has a rare condition—congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis. On Christmas Eve, three robbers dressed as Santa Claus burst into the office, take a large sum of money from the safe, kill the manager and the police who arrived on the scene, and flee, taking employee Sherry, with whom Nathan has begun a romantic relationship, hostage. Upon learning that reinforcements are delayed, Kane rushes after the criminals to save the girl of his dreams.
