Santa’s son, Nick, is apprehensive about taking over for his father. Raised by his aunt and uncle, he struggles to learn the family business. Nick isn't the only one learning a new trade; the reindeer trainers’ daughter, Hannah, is helping her parents prepare the animals for Christmas. As Nick and Hannah learn more about their jobs they become fascinated with an old tale on how to get the magical dust that lets Santa’s reindeer fly. The cryptic message from Hannah’s long past grandmother has left the source remaining hidden for centuries. Despite knowing they won’t find it, searching for the dust becomes a welcome diversion from their regular training. Right before Christmas with the deliveries ready, disaster strikes at the workshop. Nick and Hannah barely escape and it’s up to them to crack the riddle and save Christmas from impending disaster. The One that Points to the Sky shows the inner workings of Santa’s workshop and tells a tale on how a future Mrs. Claus helped rescue Christmas from certain ruin.

While dealing with his father’s apparent abandonment and his mother’s grisly suicide, Tyler Linley uses pills and Hollywood escapism to numb his raging pessimism.

There’s no Morgan Freeman narration. Tyler finds himself out on drunken midnight vigilante missions to make the world right by him—Hollywood endings. But his friends make him realize he must face the fluctuating state of reality or he will self-destruct, destroying everyone around him.
