THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS SYNOPSIS

As a young man, Mike had it all. He was athletic and handsome with loving parents and a nearly flawless girlfriend; he was blessed. But when a horrible event occurs near the end of his senior year, his life is forever altered.

We meet him much later, on December 14th in 2020, as a homeless sixty-five year old man with little else than a lifetime of memories. His shattered dreams are sandwiched between failures and losses and only his faith remains.  In the days leading up to Christmas, his life and past tribulations are revealed one by one.

But there is a subtle majesty to the power of prayer.  It can transform our hearts and our futures and as we see in Mike’s case, perhaps even our past. As the fabric of Mike’s life is unravelled, we are reminded of our own transgressions, the missed opportunities and missteps which shape our very existence.  In The 12 Days of Christmas you will learn poignant life lessons while realizing the triumph of hope over circumstance, and just like Mike, you’ll discover it is never too late to hope.
