  <plot>Joseph Harris, a legendary, but troubled playwright comes to small Michigan town at Christmastime to mount his latest play. Greeting the cynical New Yorker is a young, aspiring writer who challenges his hero to be the icon he’d idolized. However, Harris wants no part of Michigan, small towns and he has no interest in being the young man’s hero. The young man must face his hero and navigate the relationship between heroes, reality and hope.</plot>
