Synopsis:

Hawk ages out of the Chicago foster system and uses his one way train ticket to see the tallest

Christmas Tree in the World. Strapped only with his guitar and un-diagnosed PTSD, Hawk battles

the cold, loneliness, homelessness, disruptive panic attacks, and traumatic flashbacks. He crosses

paths with a mysterious World traveler named, Jefferson (Martin Sheen), who helps him find food

and introduces him to the small town. Jefferson disappears and Hawk meets Alexis (Olivia Sanabia),

a runaway teenager grieving the loss of her twin sister. Alexis’s mom, Lisa (Jana Kramer) is the

President of “The One” planning committee and is also still grieving the loss of her daughter, but

with avoidance mechanisms like putting pictures in the closet and home videos in the attic. This

has caused an unspoken rift in her relationship with Alexis. Together the two teenagers reminisce

about Hawk’s foster life, discuss the existence God, question his cultural or rather lack of cultural

background, and write a song called “Are You Here”, an original by "We The Kings". Alexis helps

Hawk get to the tree lighting ceremony while dodging her family's rescue search that includes her

zany vegetarian Aunt Jordan, her little sister Melanie, and her nurturing dad Jim (Nick Zano). As the

tree countdown begins, tragedy strikes and Jefferson returns to help the family, but is it too late?
