This Christmas, it's not the sleigh bells that ring.
Detective Lindsay Boxer and her companions in the Women's Murder Club have a lot to be thankful for as the holidays draw near. There is less crime. It's silent at the medical examiner's office. There's even a little Christmas cheer in the courts. Journalist Cindy Thomas is assigned to write a report about the true significance of the season for San Francisco because the news cycle is moving so slowly.
Then a terrifying thief going by the name "Loman" takes over the news. He has a lethal surprise planned for Christmas morning. Additionally, he has hired dozens of his criminal associates to carry out tasks that will conceal his intentions. Lindsay and the SFPD are only able to deduce that Loman has an unquenchable thirst for wealth, violence, and attention.
Although crimes are never solved on time, the Women's Murder Club's December is turned upside down when this criminal mastermind makes genuine threats every hour. Their only hope for a holiday miracle is to escape catastrophe.
