Inspired by a beloved Christmas poem this is the story of Steve Hunter and his children, Annie and Willie. After a tragic accident takes his wife, Steve is left to raise Annie and Willie alone. Steve throws himself into his work and eventually begins to neglect Annie and Willie. As Steve's bitterness over the loss of his begins to encompass his whole life he begins to show anger and resentment. Then as Christmas approaches Steve overhears Annie and Willie's prayer and realizes he needs to be the father his children need.
