If the photo above isn't enough to tip you off that "Reckless" is not exactly "Miracle on 24th Street," here's a rundown of the plot: A holiday Pollyana just wants a puppy for Christmas. Instead, she ends up on the lam when her husband hires a hit man to kill her.
Does she escape? You'll have to go to find out. The show stars Alise Marie as the fleeing heroine and features Kathy Richter, Faye Storms, George Tsontakis, Jay Braman, Tom Hagakore, Sarah Hagakore, and Cameron Williams.
