The One: plot, cast, and release date of the Christmas drama starring Martin Sheen, Jana Kramer, and Nick Zano



The One is a Christmas family drama starring Martin Sheen, Jana Kramer, and Nick Zano. The story follows an 18-year-old musician (Noah Redclay) who travels to Enid, Oklahoma, searching for a new beginning amid grief, loneliness, and unexpected encounters.


The One: Plot of the Christmas Family Drama

The One is an upcoming family drama. Hawk, an 18-year-old musician who has just aged out of Chicago's foster care system, sets out with his only one-way ticket to Enid, Oklahoma, home to the world's tallest Christmas tree, known as "The One," which is assembled every year.

Armed with nothing but his guitar and undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Hawk faces bitter cold, loneliness, homelessness, sudden panic attacks, and flashbacks connected to his past.

Along the way, he meets Jefferson (Martin Sheen), a mysterious and charismatic world traveler who helps him find food and introduces him to the small local community before inexplicably disappearing.

Hawk also encounters Alexis (Olivia Sanabia), a teenager who has run away from home and is still grieving the loss of her twin sister. Her mother, Lisa (Jana Kramer), shares that grief and serves as the chair of Enid's Winter Wonderland holiday committee. Lisa, however, continues to hide photographs in closets and family videos in the attic, struggling to confront painful memories.


The One: Cast and Actors

Martin Sheen has appeared in the series Grace and Frankie and the movie Stella Days.

Jana Kramer, a country singer and actress best known for her role in One Tree Hill, recently appeared in Karen Kingsbury's The Christmas Ring.

Nick Zano is known for playing Nate Heywood, also known as Steel, in DC's Legends of Tomorrow.


The One: Director and Screenwriter

The movie is directed by Lisa Arnold, whose previous credits include Caged No More (2016), a movie about human trafficking starring Kevin Sorbo and Loretta Devine, as well as One Nation Under God and Into the Spotlight.

The screenplay was written by Erin Elizabeth Cook.


The One: Filming Location and Release Date

Filming took place in Enid, Oklahoma, the setting associated with the movie's Christmas tree tradition.
