New York mob accountant Frank Tagliano is allowed to choose his overseas witness protection program home in exchange for a testimony against the new mob boss. He opts surprisingly for Lillehammer, once home to the Winter Olympics, but finds not only the weather is bitterly cold, his new home and car aren't to his taste and a local official insists to force him into a demeaning welcome program. Taking a liking to his neighbor and her son, he decides to help them deal with a wolf (illegally) and blackmails the official to get a bar license and have her hired for the course.
