DEAR SANTA, PLEASE SAVE ME

Thanks to rampant worldwide consumerism, dear old Saint Nick retired long ago to an undisclosed location. But when a disturbing "Dear Santa" letter is received by the Santa Mail office in Alaska, a former senior elf (now an employee of the National Park Service) tracks down Santa to ask for his assistance. In doing so, Buddy unwittingly begins a series of events involving an NSA agent, a feisty helicopter pilot, a sassy puppet named Jeff, a plate of hot cookies, and a twisted ghost from Christmas Past.

In this dark holiday-horror mash-up of Criminal Minds and NCIS (where the role of Gibbs is played by Santa Claus) Kontis presents an intoxicating blend of gallows humor and Christmas cheer, incorporating many of the holiday myths you know…and some you might not.
