Series Stolen for Christmas — 1 season, 1 episode

Story

Thirty-five-year-old Khrystyna is kidnapped by mistake. The plan was to abduct a businessman's wife, but the wrong woman ends up in the kidnapper's hands. Instead of longing to go back to her usual life, Khrystyna sees the incident as a chance to escape the routine that has defined her days. As she gets to know the man who took her, her attitude toward him and toward her own situation begins to change, and she makes a surprising decision about what to do next.

Combining action, comedy, and melodrama, Stolen for Christmas builds a holiday-titled story around an unlikely partnership. The criminal plot and Khrystyna's search for a fresh start set the tone, while the comic and emotional sides of the premise play off each other. Her choice drives the central tension and leaves the characters caught between habit, freedom, and the risk of starting over.
