Christmas is just around the corner in the quiet village of Börington. Mortimer — a well-meaning nerd thrilled to be on break from his less-than-understanding classmates — is determined to boost his popularity with a series of mostly ill-fated YouTube videos.

Not far away, Sara, a young refugee girl terrified she’ll be forced to leave the only country she’s ever known for one she’s never seen, is hiding from the world. With no friends and no family, her only companions are the small gnome dolls she keeps close.

Everything changes one morning when something crashes into the house where Sara is hiding. It’s no ordinary woodland creature, but a young dragon — alone, frightened, and searching for a way back to where he belongs.

A chance encounter pulls Mortimer into their secret. As Christmas approaches, can these three lost souls help one another find courage, belonging, and maybe even a little love — all while navigating bullies, holiday festivals, cops, soldiers… and flaming dragon poop?
