Summary

It's Christmas 1930, and eight-year-old Buddy finds himself in New Orleans spending the holidays with his estranged father. Leaving behind his Aunt Sook and the peaceful Alabama country life. Buddy now endures a conniving, deceitful con man of a dad who seems to care more about fast buck scams than earning his son's affection.

Buddy dreams of finding Santa, a snow-covered New Orleans and a new relationship with his father. His dad is looking for something real in a life of lies. Finally, father and son realize the greatest thing they have is each other. It's a gift that comes just in time for one unforgettable Christmas.
