In the city of R., nothing bad ever happens, because the residents maintain the status quo at all costs. But the children of R. have had enough. When a new family--two moms and their three kids--arrive just before Christmas, they team up with the local kids on a magical adventure to save Christmas and bring community back to the city of R.
