约翰（大卫•阿奎特 David Arquette 饰）是一位出卖自己的肉体来换取金钱的男妓。圣诞节快要到了，约翰拼了命的工作，外加借债，总算凑足了一笔钱。他决定要用这一笔钱来入住一间豪华的高级酒店，在每年一度的佳节里享受一下崇高的待遇。然而，让约翰感到无语的是，他藏着全部财产的鞋竟然不见了，所有和圣诞节有关的幻想都化为了泡影，在洋溢着节日气氛的大街上，约翰只能继续在寒冷中揽客。 唐纳（卢卡斯•哈斯 Lukas Haas 饰）是街上新来的男妓，初来乍到的他有着一股罕见的天真和乐观。唐纳喜欢上了桀骜不驯的约翰，而约翰却将他视为一个让他头疼的问题。
Plot Summary:It's the day before Christmas, the day before John's 21st birthday. He's a prostitute on Santa Monica Blvd in L.A., and he wants to spend that night and the next day at the posh Park Plaza Hotel. He's ripped off a local drug dealer to pay the bill, but as he's sleeping that morning, someone steals his shoes right off his feet, with the money in them. Meanwhile, Donner, a lad new to the streets, wants John to leave the city with him for Camelot, a theme park in Branson, MO, where they'll work as lifeguards. John spends the day trying to hustle the money for the hotel, avoid Jimmy the Warlock, keep his girl friend placated, and figure out how to deal with Donner's friendship.
