A San Quentin inmate, sentenced to life without parole, writes a play that catches the interest of a reporter.

十三岁的朱莉失去了母亲，她必须要去印第安纳和她的祖母凯伦住在一起。凯伦曾是舞台上的明星，在她阿兹海默症还未完全爆发时，她想把所有知道的一切都教给孙女，这一切的一切会成功么？

Jessica, the daughter of an impoverished farmer, still believes in Santa Claus. So when she comes across a reindeer with an injured leg, it makes perfect sense to her to assume that it is Prancer, who had fallen from a Christmas display in town. She hides him in her barn and feeds him cookies, until she can return him to Santa. Her father finds him and decides to sell him to the butcher, not for venison chops, but as an advertising display.
