As Christmas approaches, the Buckley brothers find themselves facing a familiar struggle: payback versus brotherly love. When the meanest bullies at their middle school, the Hagbarts, target them, the brothers’ mother decides to orchestrate a plan to “Elve” their enemies. Initially reluctant, especially eleven-year-old Matthew, the Buckley boys secretly deliver Christmas treats and gifts while enduring daily torment. The escalating conflict leads to an elaborate scheme for revenge, but Matthew begins to question his role in the family’s plan and what he's willing to do when the situation intensifies.
