When little brother, Jarret (Will Kellem) expresses doubts about the existence of Santa Claus, his older sibling, Jeremy (Peter Johnson), a teenager with Down syndrome, takes him on a journey to the North Pole to prove Santa is real. In the course of their magical adventure, the brothers encounter a host of colorful characters - none more fascinating than a large man with a snow-white beard who mysteriously appears in various guises, offering the boys a guiding hand on their way North. Paralleling this story is their mother's ancient bedtime fable of a child prince, banished for his disabilities by an intolerant king, who returns one day to reclaim his throne - a tale that makes an especially strong impression on Jeremy. Like the fabled child king he so admires, Jeremy safely returns with his little brother from the quest and, although Santa remains elusive, their lives are forever changed by the experience. Lauded as "inspirational" and "a new holiday classic," The Child King is a memorable tale of love and acceptance that "makes you believe that dreams do come true."
