Kevin McCallister je o něco starší. To však neznamená, že se mu budou neuvěřitelné příhody vyhýbat. Právě naopak. Dramaticku schodou okolností sedí Kevin těsně před vánoci v nesprávném letadle. Zbytek rodiny míří na Floridu a Kevin se ocitá sám uprostřed New Yorku. A jako by nestačilo, že je sám v cizím městě, prchají z vězení dva zločinci, které už Kevin dobře zná...
Jeden den v životě Kevina McCallistra začal hrozně špatně. Nešťastnou náhodou ho jeho rodiče zapomněli doma a odjeli na vánoční svátky do Paříže. Nejdříve si myslel, že za to může on, vždyť se mu splnilo přání být sám. Pomyslel si, že by to mohlo být príma, nikdo ho nebude napomínat, že baští různé laskominy... Jenže v okolí se potloukají zloději. Kevin ví, že je jen na něm, aby svůj domov ubránil. Ale jak to má udělat? Je mu jen sedm roků a je ... SÁM DOMA!!
