During the evening when St. Nicholas arrives to hand out gifts to good children, when human hearts and souls are yielding to the good deeds of the Christmas season, events in the lives of four people become interlinked. A 12-year-old boy spent months at a hospital, out of sight and mind of his uncaring mother. Finally it is a gesture of human love and sympathy that becomes the nicest gift - one that not even St. Nicholas can bring a child.
An unsuccessful pool noodle representative and an ambitious corporate lawyer have nothing in common except for the desire to be at home for Christmas. But fate has other plans for them. Their accidental meeting at Vienna's airport is the beginning of an adventure that soon evolves into a winter odyssey across Eastern Europe.
The story follows a group of German soldiers, from their Italian R&R in the summer of 1942 to the frozen steppes of Soviet Russia and ending with the battle for Stalingrad.
