Santa MikecA Christmas Convict Story
A snowbound Irish convict, Mike Dempsey, deserts the prison during a blizzard. He scavenges a dead man’s clothes and a tiny trunk of toys and treats, glimpses a warm cottage with a Christmas tree, but remains torn between escape plans and memories of wife and child. He resumes a cautious, reluctant trek toward town as the moonlight and cold press on.
