Santa Claus

Santa Claus, originally a Viking raider named Nikamund the Red, has become an alcoholic cynic who resents the Christmas season and considers quitting. He ends up at the Lightstone family’s estate during a mercenary takeover to rob the matriarch’s fortune. Trapped without his sleigh, Santa fights for survival against violent criminals and hostages, including young believer Trudy Lightstone, potentially rediscovering the true meaning of Christmas.
