Eight year old Tommy and his sister Bess secretly plan a Christmas Eve quest to find the Star guiding the Wise Men. They sneak from home with makeshift gifts, guided by imagination, and are joined by their dog Toby as they brave frost and dark toward a hoped for discovery.
Tommy and Bess, a dog in tow, reach a dark glen and discover a strange long shed where a hidden door leads to a warm, lighted space. An unseen keeper reassures them as they enter, dispelling fear of the night and cold.
In a frostbitten shed a young mother named Bess lies with a newborn as a gaunt man named Joseph contemplates their plight. Firelight, improvised comforts, and a quiet Christmas bond unfold as villagers bring gifts and warmth, before a plan to return home is weighed. To be continued next week.
