He delivers joy to the world—but all he wants is the family he lost.

For the fourth year in a row, Saint Nicholas shows up early to one house in particular—her house. The woman he once loved. The child she raised alone. He’s Santa Claus to the world, but to them, he’s just Nick. A man with a heart full of regret, and arms aching to hold the one thing he can never seem to reach: his own child.

Torn between duty to the world and the love he left behind, Nick returns year after year hoping—wishing—that maybe this time, she’ll let him stay. Just long enough to be a father. Just long enough to matter.

This Christmas, the snow falls softer, the lights glow warmer... and Nick dares to ask for the one gift he can’t give himself:

A second chance.
