Chris Hogan is a rich architect, living the perfect life in New York. However, there is one thing he hates more than everything; Christmas. This doesn't stop him from building the biggest Christmas village every year with the only objective of winning an annual contest in a famous architectural magazine. This year, Chris will put in front of the village a new arch that hold a special power and he will find himself stuck inside his own Christmas village, where everything is now real. For the villagers, Chris is a stranger, but he knows the place better than everyone else and he will have one week to find how to get back to his real life, before being taken inside Merryvile forever.
