The teenage Holton brothers live with their divorced mother, Denise (Stacy Edwards), in a rural town.
Ryan
(Robert Clark) is the older brother, who hates the rural life and makes no
secret of the fact and wants to go and live with their father, in Chicago.
The shy
young Charlie (Gavin Fink) doesn’t understand his attitude, he is happy there
even though he gets victimised by the bigger school kids'.
One day on
the way home from school he finds two reindeer, one is dead who he believes to
be one of Santa's team called Prancer, the other one is younger and Charlie
thinks he is his son and heir, also called Prancer which he tries to hide at
home and Ryan helps him which brings the brothers closer along the way.
Charlie
believes that his Prancer is “the” Prancer from the towns’ legend and will take
off and join Santa on Christmas Eve.
Unfortunately
when Prancer gets out he bites evil vice-principal James Klock (Michael
O'Keefe) and he wants the danger to the public put down.
But a
rescue operation is mounted and then Charlie runs away with his protégé to the
woods,
His mother
Denise is unable to cope, but thankfully her ex-boyfriend, handyman Tom
Sullivan (John Corbett), comes to the youngster's rescue in this engaging
family film.
Watch out
for the wonderful Jack Palance as Old Man Richards.
