Festive comedy drama focusing around grumpy home-security expert Neil and his neighbour Scott, who insists on keeping his Christmas lights illuminated all-year-round. And mixing up their bins, criticising Neil's 'project' car and generally winding him up. Basically, Scott's a git. He's also blind and all the other neighbours think he's great.
When Scott is appointed head of the Neighbourhood Watch, Neil is the only one to question his suitability for the role. Their tit-for-tat argument culminates in Neil triggering a power-cut across the entire street. On Christmas Eve.
Everyone is forced to evacuate, and Neil and Scott are left alone and on guard. But the local crime family decide to rob every house on the street in a single night, and the pair must set aside their differences to defeat them. They've got no lights, no cameras, no alarms and one of them is blind. Which might just be an advantage...
