L'atletica Charly vive tranquilla in un paesino dove il Natale è alle porte, cercando di ricordare un passato dalle lunghe ombre. La donna, infatti, non rammenta nulla dei suoi anni vissuti pericolosamente alle dipendenze dei servizi segreti americani. I quali, tra l'altro, la pensano definitivamente morta e sepolta. Ma una televisione locale riprende la sua sfilate nei panni di Santa Claus, mentre un ladruncolo è sulle sue tracce per tutt'altri motivi.
