SHANNON MCMANUS is a recently
divorced single mother living in New York, struggling to make ends meet
by working as a limousine driver to support herself and her five year
old son, TREVOR. On Christmas Eve she gets a last minute call to come
into work. Although she would much rather spend the holiday with
Trevor, she can?t turn down the money - and the client has promised to
make it worth her while. Shannon is dispatched to pick up FRED
NICKELLS, an eccentric client caught up in the holiday spirit.
Shannon's orders are to drive Fred wherever he wants, and he wants to
go anywhere and everywhere in the city, handing out money wherever he
goes.
Fred's generosity attracts the interest of local television news
reporter PETER SIMON, desperate for the big story that will get him
promoted. Peter picks up on the trail of stunned New Yorkers left in
Fred's wake and finally talks Fred into doing an interview. At the same
time Peter and Shannon feel the sparks of attraction. Fred finally
reveals that he's got an ulterior motive - namely, that Shannon is the
long-lost daughter he never got to meet- both Peter and a disbelieving
Shannon realize there's more to this eccentric old man than they had
first suspected.
