'About a Boy' meets 'It's a Wonderful Life' - an uplifting story of true love, every day heroes and Christmas miracles.
The grown-up: Michael Lamb is brilliant with numbers, but terrible with people. He's just been dumped by his long-term girlfriend, Ifeoma, after telling her he'd run away if he saw her getting mugged. Realising he needs to learn more about people, Michael takes a PHD in Sociology and ends up studying:
The kid: Callum Duffy is an 11-year old who just can't behave. He hates school and spends a lot of time in the Calm Corner (which is neither calm, nor a corner).
The girl that makes them both grow up: 11-year old Angel Rain sees in Callum what none of his teachers do - a great big heart under all the tough-kid bravado. Speaking of hearts, Angel Rain has a heart condition that means she might not live that long. But there's no need to think about that right now ...
WARNING: Be prepared for a lot of laughter and many happy tears.
