Plot

Preteen siblings from a broken marriage live with their mother, Denise, in Three Oaks, Michigan. Ryan, the oldest, wants to go live with their father in Chicago. This confuses shy Charlie, the youngest, who is also the butt of bigger school kids' often mean pranks. Then he finds a reindeer on his way home from school, which he believes to be Prancer's son, also called Prancer, which he tries to hide at home. Ryan's help bonds him and Charlie again. Alas, when Prancer gets out, evil vice principal James is bitten and wants him put down. Charlie runs away with his protégé. Denise struggles, but her brother's old friend, handyman Tom, comes to Charlie's rescue.
