The Baxter family move from California to Rockland, Maine and settle into their new house during the Christmas season. Ten-year-old Finn Baxter and his older sister Alexis are technophiles who isolate themselves from their parents Curtis and Catherine and the outside world. Finn is often playing video games and Alexis is often on her phone and computer. Encouraged by his dad to socialize, Finn befriends his neighbor Mason who informs him about the legend of a smothered gangster whose ghost haunts the Baxters' new home, leaving Finn paranoid.
While the family leaves their home to go Christmas shopping, a group of thieves consisting of Sinclair, Jessica, and their new safecracker Hughes carry out their plan to break in and steal an old, long lost Edvard Munch painting valued at $85 million, unaware the house is occupied. They are unable to locate the painting in the basement safe. As the Baxters return home, the thieves quickly flee. At night, Curtis and Catherine leave for a Christmas party hosted by Catherine's new boss, Mr. Carson. Finn and Alexis stay behind due to their petty behavior, Finn is not permitted to play video games and Alexis can only use her phone for emergency calls.
