The story
The McCallister family is preparing to spend Christmas in Paris, gathering at Peter and Kate's home in a Chicago suburb the night before their departure.
During the night, heavy winds cause a power outage that resets the alarm clocks and leads the family to oversleep.
Kevin tricks them into thinking that his family is still home, forcing them to put their plans on hold.
