Meet Dory Donder, a reindeer shifter with dreams of becoming a dancer. Despite her passion, she falls short of being chosen as one of the club's prized reindeer shifter strippers due to her imperfect antlers and her struggle with shifting. Settling for an accountant position, Dory Donder battles growing jealousy and hatches a plan to improve her situation—stealing cash from the tips, thinking it would go unnoticed.
Living in a rundown apartment plagued by a stalker and lacking security, Dory's frustrations intensify. Santa's indifference to her safety adds to the challenges, leaving her with a broken-down car and meager funds for gas. Amidst this chaos, Harmon, a polar bear shifter, enters the scene, showing a keen interest in Dory. Perplexed by his attention and suspicious of his ties to Santa, Dory questions why a mere delivery guy would attract Santa's focus. The intrigue deepens, and Dory finds herself navigating a web of mysteries in her quest for a better life.
