With his toy workshop teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, Christopher Cringle and his wife, Ruth, must make tough decisions. After all, fewer and fewer kids deserve Christmas gifts. As a result, Chris reluctantly strikes a deal to make ends meet, unaware that one spoiled, vengeful son of privilege hates to lose. Now, the maniacal Skinny Man enters the picture, bent on revenge and murder. But do legends die? What cruel, mean person would want Santa dead for a lump of coal?
