BRAN’S JINGLE BELL HEIST SYNOPSIS
The movie kicks off with a guy and a gal about to rob a joint. He says, “Let me do it, I have a record.” She says, “Let me do it, I can break into the safe.” They both go for it.
Cut back two weeks. We see this same gal, Sophia, pickpocket a guy who’s being mean to some buskers. Then we see that guy from the beginning, Nick, trying to find a new flat — but they’re all too expensive.
We see Sophia go to work at a fancy store called Sterlings, the same one she was planning to rob at the beginning. She hates it when people are mean. When a woman mistreats an employee, Sophia steals her dog’s diamond collar.
Nick, who works at a cell phone repair shop, is able to watch the Sterlings security cameras and sees her do this — and also sees her steal some petty cash. But there’s a good reason: her mom is very sick and needs an expensive treatment.
Nick visits her the next day, asks if she knows where he could find a diamond collar, and hands her a USB before scurrying off. That night, she watches it: it’s a video of her stealing, with a message to meet him the next day.
She does, and he blackmails her into helping him rob the Sterlings security locker. She says no way — while pickpocketing his locker. Needing the money, she agrees to help him in exchange for a cut, because she knows his identity as the guy who installed the security footage and who was arrested for stealing already.
They successfully break in — but everything in the locker is already gone. They decide to call a truce.
The next day at work, Sophia finds out that someone really did steal all the stuff (she suspects Nick) but also overhears that Sterling keeps $500,000 in cash in his personal office safe. She goes to talk to Nick about it and overhears him having a conversation with his ex about her and their kid moving away. He promises Sophia he didn’t rob the store without her, and they agree to work together again.
Sophia discovers the type of safe it is and assures Nick she can crack it. But they need a key fob that generates a new code every sixty seconds, which Sterling keeps in his bedroom. She tells Nick they need to figure out a way to get him into Sterling’s bedroom to steal the fob.
Nick admits to Sophia he never actually stole from Sterlings. The owner did it himself for the insurance money. He framed Nick, who took a plea deal for a shorter prison sentence so he wouldn’t miss his daughter’s life.
They consider giving up — until they find out that Sterling’s wife (who hates him) will be at a fancy gala. They hatch a plan to get him there, seduce her, and have her bring him back to her place — hopefully stealing the fob along the way.
They get all fancy and head to the gala. It works. But when they get back to her place, they find out she recognized him. They’ve been found out. She offers to give them the fob if they cut her into the deal.
They hatch a new plan to break in after the store closes on Christmas Eve. The fob works, but when the door opens, they discover another door that requires Sterling’s DNA to unlock. All is lost — until Sophia gives her DNA. Turns out Sterling is her dad. Her mom worked there, Sterling got her mom pregnant, then fired her and cut her off completely.
They get in and put the money in a bag. On their way out, a security guard comes to investigate. They hide but are caught when Nick sneezes. They make a run for it but are ultimately caught. Sophia says she’ll take the fall if she can give her mom her cut, so that he can be with his daughter. Before running out, she gives Nick a kiss.
While they’re being chased, Sterling shows up with the police to see what’s been taken. When the locker opens, all the stolen goods from the vault are in there.
Cynthia (Sterling’s wife) had told Sophia and Nick she didn’t want a cut of the money — she wanted Sterling arrested so she could take over the company. She promised to take care of them for their help. She also told them where Sterling hid his stolen goods before the insurance claim went through. Sophia and Nick moved all those goods into the safe so Sterling would get caught for insurance fraud. It works.
When the security guard recognizes Sophia, she tells him what she knows, and he lets her go free. Nick and Sophia meet back up later, and, of course, they share a kiss.
