Two weeks before Christmas, Duncan Wagner gets into his car for another attempt at
kidnapping the
son of his most despised enemy, State Representative Win Booker. When he drives into the wealthy Boston suburb, he is surprised to find the boy hitchhiking.
So begins Wagner''s quest for revenge as he finds himself
face to face with a real boy, and without a clue about how to run a
kidnapping. Wagner, a self-styled charity Santa Claus, comes to realize that eleven year old Gabriel Booker is truly a runaway, much more curious than scared. Gabriel has no idea who Duncan Wagner is -- or could be.
