Someone is killing Santa's elves, but Santa seems more concerned with decreased toy production than their deaths. That changes when his wife discovers a horrific murder. Desperate for explanations, Santa asks his nemesis, the elf leader Amak to investigate. Initial evidence suggests a polar bear killed the elves, but Amak remains skeptical when he finds conflicting clues. Amak pursues the murderer, all the time combating the struggles of the Arctic icebox, a girlfriend who deplores his opposition to change, and those wishing to usurp his authority. Can Amak solve the case before it's too late, or will this Christmas be covered with blood?
