A mortal human raised by elves at the North Pole heads to New York City in search of his biological family.

ABSTRACT
Buddy, a human male raised by elves at the North Pole ever since stowing away in Santa's gift sack as a baby in an orphanage, struggles with an identity crisis stemming from existing as a 6'3" man in an undersized world. Determined to seek out his biological family, Buddy -- imbued with a naive disposition thanks to years spent in Santa's magical realm -- heads to New York City, experiencing all the joys and pitfalls of normal human existence in comedic fashion on his way to meeting his father and restoring the Christmas spirit in a jaded populace.
