Plot: Christmas this year looks bad to Kevin McCallister. His parents Peter and Kate have been separated for the past 8 months, and things at home with Kate are difficult enough. Peter invites Kevin and his siblings to stay with him and his rich new girlfriend Natalie for Christmas. Natalie lives in a mansion where almost everything responds to remote commands. Butler Prescott and kindly housekeeper Molly are at Kevin's beck and call. Peter and Natalie leave for a while. At Christmas, they will be picking up some house guests at the airport, including an 11-year-old crown prince. Kevin witnesses his old enemy Marv Merchants and Marv's wife Vera breaking in the mansion. Natalie and Peter don't believe Kevin, and Prescott says he saw nothing. Marv and Vera plan something and decide to make their move on Christmas morning. Upon learning about this, Kevin rigs the house with booby traps. Come Christmas morning, Kevin is left at the mansion while Natalie and Peter go out to pick up the guests. In their absence, Marv and Vera break in again. But they didn't know that they'd find Kevin in there, with a bunch of painful booby traps for them.
Alternative Plot: Kevin McCallister (Mike Weinberg) is upset that his parents got divorced. Worse yet, things are heating up between his father Peter (Jason Beghe) and his love interest, Natalie (Joanna Going). Forced to choose where to celebrate Christmas, Kevin begrudgingly decides to go to Natalie's mansion, where the guests include a foreign royal family. Kevin schemes to reunite his estranged parents and -- after Marv Merchants (French Stewart) reappears -- he struggles to protect a prince from abduction.
