A Gift of
Christmas Song

Famous singer Marie Anders vanished from the stage and became somewhat of a hermit in a small Northern Minnesota town.

A winter storm on Christmas Eve brings her on a collision course with 12-year-old Sam, who recently quit singing. His parents and his choir are upset that he bailed just before the big concert.

As the evening unfolds, each of them discovers that Christmas magic still happens, especially when the songs decide that you must sing.
