When a plane crashes over the North Pole, a lone survivor stumbles upon a hidden world of elves—and gives birth to a child destined to change both their fates. Half-human, half-elf, Santa Clause grows up rejected by his own kind, haunted by prophecy, and hunted by the monstrous Grinch. Years later, after building a kingdom of hope through Christmas, betrayal from three human children threatens to drag him into darkness. Bad Santa is a dark fantasy retelling that blends myth, horror, and redemption in a tale of prophecy, betrayal, and the fight between love and vengeance.
