It's Christmas eve, 1963, and a winter storm rages outside. The small wilderness AM radio station does what it can to entertain and inform its listeners who live across the vast reaches of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The station's only staff on this particular night is JOHNNY. Because of the storm, telephone and power lines are down and traffic on the nearby snow-covered county road is non-existent. Yet the cozy block building, powered by a make-shift generator, stands stoically against the hostile environment. But things change when he gets a visit from a man who claims to be the telephone repairman... and he won't leave. The drama that follows, contained within the cramped walls of this remote cement block structure, unravels the challenge that making the distinction between citizen and criminal can be a difficult and perhaps impossible task. Johnny gets more for Christmas than he bargained for.
