Jin Duyen, a young investigative journalist, is working on a magazine article about the origins of Christmas' many traditions. After some research, she traces them back to Selah, a remote town in the Midwest. Despite being plagued by what she hopes are only nightmares, she travels there in pursuit of her story. Amy Carson, a private investigator from a nearby town, decides to look into several cases of missing children which have gone unsolved. The authorities have ceased their own searches, so with little else to do during the holiday season, she heads to Selah as well. Oddly, the residents of Selah aren't caught up in the festivities that the rest of the world is taking part in. No one wants to talk about Christmas, there's an absence of lights and decorations, and some become violent when approached. Jin persists in her investigation and eventually visits a site she'd been warned to stay away from. A site that some say brings a curse upon anyone who goes near. Soon Jin realizes that her search for the truth may cost her more than she ever realized...
