The Case For Christmas

Michael Sherman (Dean Cain) is a lawyer and single father struggling to obtain more clients. Being a single working dad, Michael doesn’t have time to think about a relationship or work on the classic car he inherited from his parents, but his friend Lauren (Rachel Blanchard) is a mechanic who helps rebuild the family heirloom. Meanwhile, the majority of the population is losing faith in Santa Claus and the Christmas spirit. To make matters worse, Santa is served with a class action lawsuit for irreparable emotional distress by sporting-goods mogul Braxton Bennett who never received the holiday gifts he wanted as a child. Santa believes he has a strong case because Braxton was always on the naughty list and asked for gifts that were unattainable. Santa hires Michael Sherman to represent him. Once the trial of Kris Kringle vs. Braxton Bennett begins, will Michael be able to save his own career… and Christmas?

Braxton Bennett, un multimillionnaire, attaque en justice le père Noël, qu'il dit être à l'origine de la détresse émotionnelle de nombreuses personnes. Une démarche loin d'être désintéressée car l'homme d'affaires souhaite en fait que le vieil homme en rouge soit remplacé par une poupée qu'il a personnellement créée. Contre toute attente, un certain Kris Kringle se présente au procès avec la convocation. Poussé par sa fille Lily, Michael Sherman, jeune avocat, accepte de le défendre. Le procès débute.
