Not Rudolph. Not Blitzen. Something far bigger. Fifteen-year-old Ryder Mack has no family, no phone, and no idea why a reality show millionaire named Billy "Big Game" Sinterklaas wants him at Kringletown-a sprawling winter compound hidden deep in the mountains. Marketed as a sanctuary for troubled teens, Kringletown feels more like a staged holiday special, complete with drones, directors, and suspiciously perfect "nicies" who never break character. But something else is watching Ryder. Something older than drones and more honest than the smiling kids. A reindeer has begun trailing him through dreams and snow. It moves like a shadow. And it isn't alone. As Ryder's every move is broadcast to millions, he begins to unravel the truth behind Kringletown's carefully curated image. The "Big Game" isn't just a brand. It's a plan rooted in ancient Christmas legends and a forgotten bloodline. Ryder isn't just a misfit. He's connected to something primal. Something sacred. And the reindeer following him? It may be the last of its kind. With the line between myth and manipulation blurring, Ryder must decide who he can trust before Kringletown turns him into something he's not. Because Billy Sinterklaas doesn't just want to help misfits. He wants to remake Christmas. Part The Truman Show, part The Hunger Games, and part Christmas myth reimagined, Ronin: The Last Reindeer is a dark and dazzling blend of found family, conspiracy, and coming-of-age survival. Not everyone gets a second chance at home. Trust no one. Especially the nice ones.
